Brothers who, growing up amongst their hated foes, are fated to return to Feldom at the turning point of this ancient struggle. Now, whilst strange creatures stalk the shadows, and the darkness encroaches, destinies will clash. Thibalt and Christill will find that they have a larger part to play in the fate of their homeland.
