A baleful Blood Moon hangs in the sky. It is the hottest spring in living memory. Drought and famine are a major concern for the farmers and there is talk of revolution in the far north-west.
Magic has long since left the kingdom of Emmerell. The Veil, an invisible barrier that separates the lands of mankind from those of the supernatural, was raised to banish the terrifying magician, Ezrien Ul-Fingmari, nineteen hundred years ago.
But The Veil is falling.
Magic is seeping back into the world. Horrifying creatures – the stuff of faerie tales and nightmares alike – prowl the deep forests and desolate marshlands.
The country teeters on the edge of ruin, but civil war and starvation will be nothing compared to the soul shattering misery Ezrien will inflict should The Veil fall completely.
Unbeknownst to Blake, Rachel, Mantos and Ethaniel, their destinies are inexplicably intertwined with that of the ancient magician and the doom he seeks to bring to the world. They all have their talents but can they really do anything to prevent Ezrien’s return?
