Summary
The city of Peradain is the heart of an empire built with
steel, spears,and a monopoly on magic… until, in a single
day, it falls, overthrown by a swarm of supernatural creatures
of incredible power and ferocity. Neither soldier nor spell
caster can stand against them. The empire's armies are crushed,
its people scattered, its king and queen killed. Freed for the
first time in generations, city-states scramble to seize
neighboring territories and capture imperial spell casters. But
as the creatures spread across the land, these formerly
conquered peoples discover they are not prepared to face the
enemy that destroyed an empire. Can the last Peradaini prince,
pursued by the beasts that killed his parents, cross
battle-torn lands to retrieve a spell that might—just
might—turn the battle against this new enemy?
