A long-forgotten evil. An unstoppable enemy. Nicolas Murray, once a college student from Texas, is now a master necromancer, Archmage of the Three Kingdoms, and the religious leader of millions on Erindor. When Nicolas returns with his fiancée Kaitlyn and his beagle Toby after a ten-minute trip to Earth, months have passed on Erindor. The Pinnacle-the seat of his political power-is in chaos, and the land is besieged by an enemy who has returned to collect on an old debt. When Kaitlyn begins to show signs of Awakening-and not even a Mukhtaar Lord can guide her safely into her powers-Nicolas must make a choice; lead the fight against an armada that threatens to destroy the Three Kingdoms, or set out to find a magus who can guide Kaitlyn before her latent power kills her. As Kaitlyn's symptoms worsen, and one city after another falls, an ancient evil is uncovered. An evil the Mukhtaar Lords believe was behind every vile event in recent history, from Kagan's Great Barrier to the Purge that brought necromancy to the brink of extinction. With the help of old friends and new, Nicolas must confront the enemy the Three Kingdoms has feared for decades. Even if it means taking the ultimate risk. Nicolas is a man embattled...
