Ravin is an anomaly amongst those who use magic. He refuses to join the Council of Auras and tie his fate to the wizards, and long ago escaped a terrible fate amongst the Enlightened, called the Shadow Council by some.
His escape gave him freedom few others with his power enjoy, and he means to keep it, no matter the cost.
Serving as an advisor to the Deluchan queen, Ravin learns a powerful relic is kept deep within the catacombs below the palace.
War is on Delucha's doorstep, brought about by none other than the council he fled from and their Soulless leaders.
He resolves to retrieve the relic in order to combat the imminent threat, but collecting the Talisman of Delucha is not without its own danger.
As the Soulless' army prepares to besiege the Deluchan capitol, Ravin makes one final, desperate attempt to secure the Talisman.
The kingdom's survival depends on his success, but time is not on his side.
