A shadow covers the Lands of the Light. Having survived the initial barbarian incursion, the Secundan war host leads the combined nations that make up the Lands of the Light in their bloody efforts to recapture the White Frontier. Uthiel Caellar, the hero who slew the warlord, marches north to the desert realm of Imonetia to cleanse the lost lands of the sand lords. Leaving his pregnant partner in the hands of a warrior-priest from his childhood, Uthiel finds himself in a fight not just to cleanse the realm of the Black Wolf taint, but to discover what truly lays hidden in the hearts of the glorious heroes who lead the Lands of the Light to war.
