The war against the shadows continues, as do the machinations of the gods, both good and evil. Darras, now happily settled in his new world, continues to aid his friends and deal with those who would oppose the plan of Erren, the Goddess of Light. Yet the struggle takes a darker turn when Colanthus, the God of War, takes the side of the King’s Council of Rachtelin and selects his brutal, murderous champions to face Darras, the Agent of Erren.
