Synopsis

Velladriana’s powers grow at an alarming rate, serving as a beacon for all those who seek her capture. Having narrowly escaped the clutches of the Dominion of Shadows in the north, Velladriana, Corwyn and the rest of the companions know their dark pursuers will stop at nothing to capture her. Hoping to gain answers and a safe haven, they flee in search of the mysterious Oracles, thought by most to have been completely wiped out since the devastation of the Mourning Night. Corwyn and Velladriana’s mysterious connection continues to grow in intensity as they try to figure out their destinies and what they mean to the future of the world. They must also come to terms with the growing feelings they have for each other. The intimidating Viper, Reese, has committed his sword to the quest to keep Velladriana safe, as have the streetwise Eryk and massive, powerful Rogen. Dolthaia continues to be haunted by the mystery of her kidnapped sister. Crispin, still feeling out of place, must come to terms with his growing abilities and the responsibilities they carry, all the while longing for home. Lord Cartigas, realizing time grows short, becomes more frenzied as he commands his magical forces in the search for the Pride. With his powers mounting, he is able to summon magics to his aid that were previously thought impossible to wield. He, along with the power-hungry Niantha and the treacherous Larther lead the dark vanguard working tirelessly to capture the Pride. Thus bringing into being the fulfillment of the ancient prophecy that will change Tarune and all of the Known Kingdoms into a realm of living death. As the impending 1000-year peak of the Caredon Cycle draws ever closer, the magical chaos that’s created continues to cause widespread disasters. The results of these disasters are wide reaching, affecting even the mighty Weavers’ Guild. Always quick to take advantage of any unexpected situation, Gascon moves brazenly to solidify his base of power. In the north, the armadas of the kingdom of Aldara and the fearsome Viper’s Legions of Morlian move to war, each kingdom claiming the lands of the Principality of Vost as their own. In the south, Canodrian forces fortify battle lines against the warriors of the powerful nation of Medioc. The growing numbers of zealous followers of Maars the Lector stand as the wild card in that region, their influence could determine the outcome when those two sides finally engage in battle. Throughout it all, the armies of the Necromancers grow in strength and numbers, becoming bolder in their displays of might. Those nightmarish forces stand poised to be unleashed on all the armies of men. The creative force of authors Charles D. Carpenter and D.W.
