Description
“The world quivers with the march of this army. Rotting flesh hangs from their bones, and they moan as though in pain. They do not move as normal people would, but stagger along to the cadence of the one who controls them. There are hundreds and thousands of them, and where they walk, there is only death and destruction.” The threat of the dread necromancer Aasarak continues to loom over Shandahar, imperiling the future of all who live there. As the inevitable confrontation approaches, a divided Wildrunners struggle to accomplish the tasks set before them, and miserable defeat shadows their every step. Meanwhile, the young sorceress Adrianna has been taken as an apprentice by the powerful dimensionalist, Tallachienan Chroalthone. It is everyone's hope that her newfound skill and matured talent will help turn the tide in their favor. But Adrianna is encountering her own share of danger behind the mysterious walls of Tallachienan's gloomy citadel. The Master is more than what he seems, and she is beleaguered by strange dreams and visions that cause her to doubt her sanity. Her presence there has set something in motion, a trap from which she may not find a way to break free. Yet, there is hope. Adrianna is also more than what she seems. The friendships she will forge are strong, and the immunities inherent in her ancestral bloodline will help her persevere over seemingly insurmountable odds. But will these things ultimately aid in bringing her back to those companions foretold in the prophecy? And most importantly, the sworn Protector?
