The people of Eldrathis believe their lands are the whole of the world. But powerful forces have long hidden the truth-sealing away what lies beyond the mountains, across the storm-wracked seas, and deep within the heart of the Everwood itself.
As the world is stripped of its life-mined, harvested, and drained-ancient powers begin to stir. The sacred trees fall. Old borders bleed. And something long buried rises again.
Kargan Ironfury, a young battle-hardened dwarf haunted by bloodlines unknown and rage he cannot tame, wields a weapon he does not fully understand. Sylwen Moondrift, a wood elf marked by wild magic, watches her people fall-one forest at a time. Rurik Haldorson, a logger's son, becomes bound to a magic that may belong to a forgotten age. And Vaerion Starfire, the cruel and calculating heir to the richest lord in Eldrathis, seeks to claim more than just power-he seeks dominion.
Vidr feels all, and sees all.
The myths are real. The darkness is returning. And the world is about to open wider than anyone ever feared.
