With a new oath to the god that gave him his power, Seth is returned to Thurr, determined to set right all of his wrongs. Sara, prisoner to the enemy king, is drawn ever further away from Valdadore to an end she is certain awaits with open maw. Borrik, the massive werewolf champion sworn to Seth has fallen in with Garret, and together they plan to hold Valdadore against their enemy at all costs, but both know they will not prevail against the invading king. Not without aid. From the West Linaya and Zorbin march with a hundred thousand Dwarven warriors in hopes of reaching Valdadore before all is lost, but neither know what has occurred in their absence, and nor will they be prepared for what they find. Only the gods can foresee the outcome of this battle, and even they look to the future with fear. With uncertainty even in the heavens, can Thurr survive the meddling of the gods further, or will fate choose instead to guide to fruition that which is inevitable?
