With Aiden Urranna forced into hibernation, his allies flee with him in a bid to hide from their enemies and prevent them from using him to destroy the kingdoms. For thirty years they remain hidden, hoping for the day when Aiden will revive. But peace is eventually shattered when Anvalin Roachay finds them, having formed a partnership with the Necromancer Raith. When the ensuing fight rouses The Flame before Aiden, much blood is shed, and even its closest allies become fearful of the Reaper?s growing power. In response they trap both The Flame and its host, forcing Aiden to go on the run from those he considered to be friends. His own actions trigger events which could lead to the extinction of the ancient races and of Humankind itself? *Contains scenes of violence
