Unknown mage-storms are causing havoc on Valdemar, Karse, and all the Western kingdoms in Storm Rising. These countries are not only beset by deadly earthquakes, monsoons, and ice storms, but also by poisonous magical constructs that resemble horrific nightmare monsters. Struggling to gather their combined magical might, the Sunpriests of Karse and the Heralds of Valdemar try to defend their kingdoms against these destructive attacks driven by spells. However, as things become worse and worse, the already shaky alliance between these once-adverse nations starts to fall apart. And in the event that Valdemar and Karse are unable to track down and eliminate the storm's originator, their whole planet might be destroyed in one last magical holocaust.
