It's been three years since Brennus has been banished to Ntoc, left in an enemy territory to die ... or so Asvin hoped for. With his newfound skills, Brennus makes quick work of the island nation in just three years and is ready to destroy the Anseleum Empire. When Ikarroe whispers in his ear about another sacred place full of power that could help him do the last thing he has wished to do - raise Harald from the dead - Brennus stops at nothing to get what he wants. But will his power consume him, or will he enact his revenge?

Kestrel, forced by an ancient bond they don't understand, finds themself in a great tug of war between this servitude to Ikarroe and the demands of their past. As Ikarroe brings them back to their homeland, Kestrel comes face to face with what the truth means to them.

War brews in the background and lost truths come to light, and the gods begin to meddle in human affairs once more. Will the monsters be stopped or will Anseli be destroyed under their might?
