There is a new Saviour in the Land - but the people may come to regret
the 'peace' he offers ...
Lord Isak is dead, his armies and entire tribe in disarray. It falls to
King Emin to continue the war alone, and the Menin are only too happy to
meet his challenge.
In Byora, Ruhen is developing his 'Saviour' persona. The Harlequins
start preaching in his name and many of the pilgrims who flock to him
are recruited to be 'Children', disciples who spread Ruhen's message.
All over the Land people are starting to see Ruhen as the answer to
their troubles.
A showdown is coming: battle lines are finally drawn and the atrocities
quickly mount. The spectre of the Great War looms, but in this age the
Gods cannot and will not come to King Emin's aid. With the peoples of
the Land turning against Emin and his few remaining allies, their only
chance for survival lies in the hands of a dead man.
