But the Ulokans have been defeated in turn by the forces of the sorcerer-lord Skraka Gorn. As ancient evils rise once more and new threats emerge, Gorn holds himself out as the only hope for the survival of humankind. Tamurac, lord of the Halyas, has disappeared in the battle. Now his teenage son Danalar must accept responsibility and become the warrior and leader he has trained his whole life to be. Meanwhile, until he comes of age it falls to Charymylle, Lady Halyas, to lead the clan through this time of change - if the wardens and warband will follow a woman. When a survivor returns with suspicions of Gorn's treachery, the Halyas must make a fateful choice. They could choose safety and give up their free heritage to support Gorn's imperial ambitions. Or dare to resist his expanding empire and face his devastating sorceries in a new kind of war. Their decision leads to an adventure greater and more terrible than Danalar ever imagined.
