Life has been peaceful since the completion of his two-decades-long penance. Thaddeus has married, built a Tower, and fathered a family. What could possibly go wrong?

The corrupted Cinnian Emperor has made it his lifegoal to invade the Westlands with his million-man Imperial Army. None in the West know of his alliance with the dreaded Jennah-Keene Assassins, Aephisto the Grand Vizier of all Graecolia, and, most especially, the re-awakened evil Master, Perditus and his Daemon Lord. And, of all these, Thaddeus has the most to fear of the one he knows the least about.

​

• Can Marsia, Mistress of Northfast, defend the Tower against the Goblin hordes with only the help of a blind eagle?

• Can the Aelvae Queen save Thaddeus’ children by spiriting them away through the enemy-infested forest?

• Can Perditus bind the Daemon Lord to his will without provoking the rage of the Inferna?

• Can the Evil Sorcerer use the Aelvae zombie to force the surrender of the Great Northern Tower?
