.."Blood on a blade in the Magician's hand, Kierce the hunter wrapped in symbols of glory." Something of the Spirit of Shehaios, the Fair Land, died on the mountain with the Shaihen king and the child who had been the Shaihen Magician's hope for the future. The power of the Magician has been compromised and bloody war is raging through Shehaios. As the great battle between the proud and fearless tribes of the north and the all-powerful Empire of the south begins, Caras, Chief of Oreath, must stand alone against the forces threatening to destroy his land and his people. As everything he believes in starts to disintegrate around him, Caras is forced to contemplate sacrificing all that he holds dear to save Shehaios from oblivion. Only one person can change this deadly end game. Kierce the Magician must overcome the forces tearing him apart and reclaim the Staff of Power.
