As the "audacious and subversive"* Shadow Campaigns novels continue,
the weather is growing warmer, but the frosty threat of Vordan's enemies
is only growing worse...
As the roar of the guns subsides and the smoke of battle clears, the
country of Vordan is offered a fragile peace...
After their shattering defeats at the hands of brilliant General Janus
bet Vhalnich, the opposing powers have called all sides to the
negotiating table in hopes of securing an end to the war. Queen Raesinia
of Vordan is anxious to see the return of peace, but Janus insists that
any peace with the implacable Sworn Church of Elysium is doomed to fail.
For their Priests of the Black, there can be no truce with heretics and
demons they seek to destroy, and the war is to the death.
Soldiers Marcus d'Ivoire and Winter Ihernglass find themselves caught
between their general and their queen. Now, each 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.
