"A book that will take over readers' thoughts until long after the final
page." --RT Book Reviews
Survival is just the beginning.
Blaine McFadden endured six long years in the brutal Velant prison
colony, exiled for murder. War devastated his homeland of Donderath and
destroyed the magic on which the Ascendant Kingdoms relied. Now Blaine
and a small group of fellow exiles have returned to a lawless wasteland,
where unrestrained magic storms wreak havoc and monsters roam free.
Yet, amidst the chaos, rumors persist of a new magic that could restore
the kingdoms. But the key lies with a dangerous, ancient ritual and a
group of vanished survivors. Now McFadden's only hope is a small,
desperate, quickly rallied army. Together they must make one last stand
knowing that if they fail, the civilization of the Ascendant Kingdoms
dies with them.
