What would you be willing to sacrifice? Rumors of war are spreading. They warn of an unstoppable army that has laid waste to entire towns, and leading them is a beautiful Queen who wields an unholy power to raise the dead. Will the learned Lore Masters who hide in their mountain Temple join the fight against what they believe is the reincarnated God of Death? Can the secret sect of veiled warrior-priests known as the Ren-Tigarians put the past behind them and join forces with the man they have taken a blood-vow to kill? Can a young man have hopes for a future when the Gods have already decided his fate? A dark fantasy in the style of George R.R. Martin's A Game of Thrones and Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time Series.
