Millennia before the elves' exodus to Lasniniar, there was only the darkness. Over a year after the demon war, that same darkness stalks Iarion's dreams, haunting him with visions of an unspeakable fate.
A tangle of secrecy and guilt surrounds Iarion and his companions as Lasniniar itself unravels around them. Within the festering darkness, an ancient evil has awakened, roused by the call of a new master and the promise of freedom. Nothing less than all of Lasniniar's heroes stand a chance against it.
...But even a chance of survival comes at a cost.
Lose yourself in a sprawling, high-stakes adventure of magic, fate, and friendship. Reunite with all the characters you know and love as the World of Lasniniar comes full circle in this ninth novel of the richly imagined epic fantasy series by Jacquelyn Smith.
