Description
Isomere, Heir to the throne of Dracosia by horns and heritage, knows the moment of his death. He has seen the future and the destruction that is sure to come. Compelled by his conscience and his obligation as a Paladin of the goddess Helai, he must put into motion a path of fate in which all survive, at a steep price: himself. Hilketa is the powerful Night Mistress, an assassin of legendary skill, and Isomere's childhood friend. Torn between the world she knows and the one her long-missing friend wants to drag her into, she must accept that nothing she knew will be the same. To follow his instructions, she must discard all she has built. When Cassius slays an Elder Beast, the ultimate challenge, he finds that his life is changed forever. Abandoned by Isomere, he must face the rising Darkness that threatens to overtake him. In search of his friend, Cassius is dragged deep into an adventure, one beyond him and his wildest dreams. Here, truths, wonderful and terrible, will be revealed.
