The King of Krnōrel's daughter has been murdered.
War has started.
The armies of Krnōrel and Sesserrech march and Lieut looks again to his own mission. He has a chance to return to his life before he crashed in Essinendeür, return to the world of simplicity and greatness. But in doing so he would lose his friends in Fairris, Vythe and Bārdin.
Is such a sacrifice worth making?
As Lieut struggles with his dilemmas the High Commission continue to make their plans in the shadows. Twisting the Kings of Sesserrech and Krnōrel to their desires they continue to advocate war and decide who it is to win.
Little do they know there is more happening than they could have possibly imagined.
The Fifth Age of Essinendeür is about to come to a crashing end.
