For hundreds of years, the Vaians have waited for revenge. Whilst the rulers of men have become greedy and complacent, they have waited, and they have planned. A sadistic and vicious race capable of snaring the soul for enslavement, they are returning to Lirdan to claim back the lands that once belonged to them. One of their own escaped; it didn't matter. They knew she would die. What they didn't know, was that she carried a child. Years after Haelyn's escape from the clutches of her Vaian masters, join Idirin as he struggles to piece together a resistance against the forces he knows are coming to reclaim the souls of mankins. Can he and his headstrong daughter Arroryn stay united for long enough, or are secrets kept for too long destined to tear them apart? Can the embittered sons of the greedy and cruel King Ryn keep the peace between each other to keep the throne united, or are they destined to fail, just like their ancestors had predicted? Enter the fantasy world of Lirdania, and Eldervai; where the eyes do more than deceive, and death certainly does not mean your soul is at rest.
