Official synopsis Publisher
Hubris brought Manalar to its knees. An eclectic alliance could lift it back up.
The Godblood of Manalar hadn’t much chance of defeating the Ma’ab when I broke into the city to rescue my sister. The longer Captain Isboern waits to try again, the more entrenched his enemies become.
Jael and I don’t want to go back, but if the Ma’ab fester in the South, they could spread and track me as far as Sivaraus. Our best allies agree, better if the northern empire is purged now, and the cleansing of the sacred pool passes to the Human leader giving all Paxia hope.
Countless obstacles stand in our way, from spies and Hellhounds to demons and devils. With them come discoveries granting insight on why my Valsharess sent me to the Surface. The Ley Lines and their shadows flow and twist together in the fever of war rekindled. In them, I gain a glimpse of Her Vision.
Nothing in my life has horrified me more.
