The remnants of the Clan of the Seven Stars are returning to their long
abandoned homeworld . . . but not as friends. The elves, led by the
conjurer Laromendis, flee the relentless demon hordes sweeping through
their galaxy--and the conquest of war-weary Midkemia is the Clan's sole
hope for survival . . . if the Dread Legion does not pursue them through
the rift.
The magician Pug knows what horrors will surely follow the elven
invasion, for slaughter alone will sate Demon King Maarg's minions. For
the death tide to be turned, Midkemia's constant defender must somehow
unite bitter foes and vengeful former lovers--because failure to do so
will mean annihilation.
