It is a dark and dangerous road to the Portal, one filled with Gods and Monsters. Having freed both Sylvae and Hokino, the Foreshadow of Balance find themselves split up as they head to the World of Sophoi. It is here that their Quest will catch up with them, the Black Queen has her half-dead Varkurn scouring the World as the Chinerthians rip through it on their way to the Portal and battle with the Sylvaen Army. Each member of the Foreshadow will find new truths about themselves, their Quest and each other. They will visit secret libraries that hold ancient histories, some will travel the Dark World. One will raise an army while another will become a Dragonrider. Finally together again they will attack the Five Towns and then join battle at the Chinerthian Portal in a bid to break through.
