The War of Souls is over. Takhisis is dead. On Ansalon, heroes and gods have banded together to save the world from destruction. A new peace, of sorts, has taken hold.
Half a world away, on the continent of Taladas, the troubles are just beginning. Sorcery, long thought lost, has returned to the world. Disasters wrack the land, nations clash, dark forces stir in the aftermath of the Godless Night.
On the grasslands of the Tamire, an ambition lord unites the barbarian tribes, streaming south for plunder and bloody conquest.
Among the fortresses and cities of the Minotaur League, a victorious general returns to his family after years away…
In the shadows, an elven thief tracks a mysterious enemy that seeks a statue of eldritch magic…
One will live, one will die, and one will wish for death. For ancient powers are waking in Taladas.
