Three strangers chosen by the gods.
A castle servant who can bend fire and light to his will.
A musician whose songs can soothe even the wildest hearts.
And a nobleman with the gods’ own luck.
Once, that was enough.
Three mortals gifted with powers beyond any they should possess stand against the armies of shadow. But there are other gods—older gods—and darker powers stirring in the night. And they, too, have begun to choose their champions.
Hunted by mortal and immortal enemies alike, Alesh and his companions flee south into the Ferinan lands, searching for allies willing to stand against the coming darkness.
But the journey has already changed them.
A nobleman stripped of hope.
A musician to whom every song sounds like a funeral dirge.
A castle servant teetering on the edge of an evil greater than any he has faced.
They have set themselves against the Ever Dark. But shadows are not easily conquered—and no matter how many are cut down, more rise in their place.
For the truth of shadows is that they are not born.
They are made.
