Summary
A war fueled by the dark powers of forbidden sorcery is
about to engulf the Ascendant Empire. Agerastian heretics,
armed with black fire and fueled by bitter hatred, seek to
sever the ancient portals that unite the empire - and in so
doing destroy it. Asho--a squire with a reviled past--sees his liege, the
Lady Kyferin, and her meager forces banished to an infamous
ruin. Beset by tragedy and betrayal, demons and an
approaching army, the fate of the Kyferins hangs by the
slenderest of threads. Asho realizes that their sole hope of
survival may lie hidden within the depths of his scarred
soul--a secret that could reverse their fortunes and reveal
the truth behind the war that wracks their empire.
