The pressures of young adulthood thrust Jaiem, a Vyrdmar prince, into a self-imposed isolation. In a fit of melancholy, he is lured into a web of seduction spun by an immortal heretic called Promothos. Forgotten by most in the world, Promothos has resurfaced to mount a lethal threat against Jaiem's royal family, their kingdom, and their world, and the young prince unwittingly becomes his pawn. From the dawn of the world, Promothos sought to cull the Vyrdmar faithful from their god Yggir's flock, seducing them with the power of the "primordial flame," the boundless creative power of the cosmos. In this chapter of that struggle, Jaiem takes center stage. Promothos is loosed from his abyss. The Vyrdmar's high city is besieged, and the fate of an entire world hangs in the balance.
