The Runemasters are purged. The Hound, the Tower's secret weapon, is buried under rubble in the ocean. Most importantly, the mainlanders who ended the Runemasters—Magon, Seneka, High Priest Oath, Itula, and Princess Elthren—survived the ordeal.
However, Princess Elthren suffered great loss, and she will never be the same. Itula drained her magic, and she now faces exile from both her tribe and the Freytilians. High Priest Oath drew unwanted attention to his bloodstone, which might be linked to untold horror. Seneka and Magon, newly knighted, face enemies at home and within the Lhorian court.
Worse yet is the Great War, an apocalypse the Runemasters would've sparked. Their efforts revealed the weaknesses underlying every nation, and now, wolves are gathering to feed. Dark powers rise, challenging Freytilia's resolve, and at the heart of it all, the Tower grows its influence.
In the calm before the storm, it becomes apparent that Freytilia has already changed…and its future looks terrifying.
