Even Corayne an-Amarat can feel it, tucked away in her small town at the edge of the sea.
She soon discovers the truth: She is the last of an ancient lineage, and the last hope to save the world from destruction. But she won’t be alone. Even as darkness falls, she is joined by a band of unlikely companions:
A squire, forced to choose between home and honor
An immortal, avenging a broken promise
An assassin, exiled and bloodthirsty
An ancient sorceress, whose riddles hide an eerie foresight
A forger with a secret past
A bounty hunter with a score to settle
Together they stand against a vicious opponent, invincible and determined to burn all kingdoms to ash, and an army unlike anything the realm has ever witnessed.
