The sorcerer, Ravin Dar, has called forth a mythical beast of legend and set it against humanity. Standing in its path are a select group of heroes destined to save the world, if they can only survive long enough to do it.
Salen Valari, elven wizard and would-be archmage, along with the dark-skinned half-elf, Somrael, and the female elven warrior Shyi-Lhanna, meet up with Korr, the northern warrior, and Cerufin Flamesong, an old friend from the elven city of Tir'Oniel. Together they travel towards destiny and a prophecy that brings them face to face with a beast that has only existed in stories. Left without many choices, they must master old rituals and conquer traitorous schemes to save the day, all before they kill each other.
Swords, sorcery, and sarcasm abound as they travel towards the fate of Erendor, and only the gods-in-the-sky know how it will all end.
