The very elements have taken a stand against the world and demigods from ages past have arisen to add the world in defeating this new enemy. With the rise of this new threat, four heroes from the southern reaches of the North American Covenant must make their own stand. They have overcome prejudice, torture, captivity and the loss of everything they know and love; but can they survive the upheaval of the world? Can they succeed in fighting off the very forces that created the world or are they doomed to fall as the elements strive to reforge the world? The Trials of the Southern Four have begun.
