After millennia of peace, the Mirror Planes have collided and the Furies have returned. Caught in the onslaught of these forces, Luc Viamar-Ellandor and the nation of Penthar have withstood the first skirmish, if barely. Now the nation of Penthar must weigh rumors of the Legion of the Earthbound to the north and south. Eldin Viamar, King, considers abdicating. The Warden of Ardil and the White Rose of Alingdor return to find the son they left behind considerably changed and no longer the young man he had been. News the Fallen and the Earthbound have seized the Ancaidan capital leave the lords of Penthar in doubt over whether to risk war to stop the Furies and save the neighboring nation or see it destroyed in an attempt to recover the Sword of Ardil and end the threat of one of their most dangerous foes. Knowledge that to the far east in the Mountains of Memory a rising darkness is stirring leaves Luc with little choice. He must announce his ancestry and hidden identity in the hopes he will be able to muster the armies of Penthar and unite the west against the gathering menace. With his memories clouded and images of a ruined city and conflict predating the rise of men pursuing him, Luc must learn to control newfound abilities knowing even a victory to the south might not see them survive the rise of the Unmaker.
