About This Book
Something is amiss in the kingdom of Lorenth. During one of the expansion missions, the humans determine they are no longer alone in the world as they once thought. In fact, the men are viciously attacked by the elves of Illu`Dar. Sentient, magically adept dragons, dwarves, elemental races, treants, dryads, sprites, ice elves, and woodland elves compose the fae races that for generations have lived in a silent pact with the humans, never revealing their presence until the humans breached their borders. Meanwhile, a restless and vile taint seeks a vessel to dominate—a living corruption spawned from the conflict between the three imprisoned deities: Sarik, Ethoni, and Deimar. This taint finds such a vessel in Seneschal Dean—second in command of the human armies of Lorenth, led by the noble priest-king, Arimas. Age-old prophecies entwine around events leading to the beginning of the time of silence—the time when the Tear of Deimar made its call, searching for the promised Lightbringer who must eventually stand to face the Seed of Corruption and right the balance of Caliyon for good. An unlikely combination of warriors unites to defeat the mysterious threat.
