Celecia and Dakoran continue to look for a way back home. But first, they must also deal with the growing threat from North Maroa and resurgence of an ancient enemy, the vampires. The demonic creatures from Jamut’s realm are once again led by the demon who inhabits the body of Celecia’s former sister, Tathiel. And with the growing presence of magic, these mystically fueled creatures will no longer be contained.

In North Maroa, Wendy leads a band of rebels seeking to depose the president who came from Verdan’s past. Malcolm Retek understands that his stalemate with Celecia will not last forever, and so he accelerates his plans to propel North Maroa to a place among the world’s powers. His plans are far reaching and have deadly consequences for those who champion freedom.

Mriccon travels to Parthea to learn the state of the religion he founded. There, he uncovers plots that start with North Maroa and end in Chenoa. And it isn’t until he learns the identity of the author of these plots that he realizes that once again Verdan is being manipulated by the gods. His discovery will take him down an ancient path as he follows in the footsteps of the dwarves.

And while the world reels from unfolding events, a forced reunion causes enemies to reveal past secrets and work together if they are to survive. Their efforts result in a better understanding of each other and of themselves. All of this leads to a cataclysmic confrontation and sets the stage for the coming of The Fifth Age.
