The crown has been stolen by a new queen, who is dragging Cenaria into catastrophe. The nation is now a shattered kingdom with a tattered army, few food, and no hope. Kylar Stern intends to restore his best buddy Logan to the position of King, but will he really be able to get away with murder?
The demise of the Godking has sparked a civil war in Khalidor, up north. One side tries to elevate the goddess Khali herself in an effort to have the upper hand. However, they are experimenting with unstable abilities, which may lead to widespread strife. To preserve or destroy a whole continent, seven armies will come together.
Kylar has finally learnt the bitter cost of immortality, and is faced with a task only he can complete. He has to kill a goddess in order to rescue his allies—and maybe even his adversaries. The South is doomed to fail. All he has ever loved will be lost in the process of success.
