What will they risk to save the world?
With the
apocalyptic threat of moonfall looming ever closer, Nyx and her allies
must venture into the eternally sunblasted lands to search for an
ancient weapon buried untold millennia ago. All the while, enemies close
upon her flanks, and a greater danger lurks ahead. For beneath a desert
turned to glass, hidden from the scorching heat, life thrives-both
wondrous and monstrous. But a more fearsome menace lies even deeper,
where an ancient army has been seeded to protect a secret from any who
dare seek it out.
Yet, can Nyx truly trust those at her side?
Or even herself? For while her gifts grow ever stronger, so does the
danger of losing herself to a dark madness. Worst yet, the same afflicts
Bashaliia, her winged and bonded brother.
Elsewhere, a looming
war explodes across the Crown, forging new alliances and greater
enmities, as lands around the globe are drawn into fiery conflict.
Prince Kanthe-now consort to the newly crowned Empress of the Southern
Klashe-recognizes a hard truth: to save the world, he must destroy all
that he once loved.
Beyond such struggles, a new cunning peril
smolders at the heart of a kingdom. Hidden in the Shrivenkeep of the
Iflelen, an ancient bronze weapon has been awoken. Fed by blood, fueled
by hatred, it has only one purpose: to end all life on Urth.
