Pastor Moriah Eisander and her young ward Zorin Fairwaithe travel to the strange continent of Relathor to meet its inhabitants and explore the untouched ruins that dot its lands, left by an ancient calamity. During their travels, they run into old friends and new comrades and the troubles brought by bandits and simmering political tensions-until a city is consumed by fire from the heavens, and strange beasts begin terrorizing the people of Relathor. In the aftermath of this disaster, they struggle to survive and return safely home, clinging to the hope that the hideous creatures will not follow to terrorize them further, only to find that the menace is far greater than they feared.
