**As Django Wexler continues his "exceptional military fantasy"* Shadow
Campaigns series, the smoke of battle has cleared, and a fragile peace
is offered...but at what price?
**
After their shattering defeats at the hands of General Janus bet
Vhalnich, the opposing powers have called all sides to the negotiating
table. Queen Raesinia of Vordan is eager to see an end to war, but Janus
insists that any peace with the Sworn Church of Elysium is doomed to
fail. For their Priests of the Black, there can be no truce with the
heretics and demons they seek to destroy.
Soldiers Marcus d'Ivoire and Winter Ihernglass find themselves caught
between their general and their queen. Now they must decide which leader
truly commands their loyalty--and what price they might pay for final
victory. And in the depths of Elysium, a malign force is rising--and
defeating it might mean making sacrifices beyond anything they have ever
imagined.
