The end has come. The army of the silent ones is sweeping across the
land, annihilating towns and cities, slaughtering all they encounter. In
a desperate bid to save the lives of uncounted innocents, the allied
forces of elf, dwarf, and human must face these savage and seemingly
unstoppable warriors. But the silent ones are unlike any enemy the
people of Lumnia have faced before - corrupted and made enormously
strong by the vile magic of Shinzan. They do not care who is friend or
who is foe. They do not feel fear or pity. And they will never stop. For
the silent ones do not fight for victory. They have but one purpose - to
bring death to the world.
Though Ethan's power could save many lives should he join in this fight,
his path lies elsewhere. The rendezvous with destiny is at hand. He will
battle Shinzan one final time. But first he must face the choice he has
avoided from the moment he arrived. And that decision will determine the
fate of all races...and Lumnia herself.
