The invasion through the Char'gr Wastelands has been a disaster. The alliance of Elves and Acolytes has ground to a halt before reaching Llovar's citadel, too weakened by Wasteland demons to continue. King Falladir has been slain, and his kingdom is in chaos. Orcs and Uthuk continue to stream down from the north while the Undead press up from the south. Worst of all, Waiqar Sumarion, leader of the failed allied invasion, has been captured.

Waiqar's journey has been difficult, but never so bleak as it is now. He has secrets that Llovar wants to know, and only faith to sustain him through the black days of torment ahead.

He hopes it will be enough.
