At the world's edge, Andelusia awakens to the terrible realization that all her dreams have come to nothing. No matter that her father, the warlock, has fallen into exile. No matter that the enemies of mankind have retreated into darkness. When the shadows in her heart cause the seasons to change and deadly storms to sweep across Thillria, she knows what will come: The Black Moon will descend. Grimwain will return. The Ur will rebuild their haunted civilization atop humanity's graveyard. Unless she alone wages war against the Nether Kingdom, the world will burn.
