But this union will be far more than political, as a sorcerous power has claimed those opposing Mother Dark -- given form by the exiled High Priestess Syntara, the Cult of Light rises in answer to Mother Dark and her Children.      Far to the west, an unlikely army has gathered, seeking an enemy without form, in a place none can find, and commanded by a Jaghut driven mad with grief. Hood's call has been heard, and the long-abandoned city of Omtose Phellack is now home to a rabble of new arrivals. From the south have come Dog-Runners and Jheck warriors. From the Western Sea strange ships have grounded upon the harsh shore, with blue-skinned strangers arriving to offer Hood their swords. And from the North, down from mountain fastnesses and isolated valleys, Toblakai arrive, day and night, to pledge themselves to Hood's impossible war.

And they are eager to feed.      Comprehending the terrible risk of his gift of blood, a weakened, dying K'rul sets out, in the company of a lone guardian, to bring order to this newborn sorcery -- alas, his choice of potential allies is suspect. In the name of order, K'rul seeks its greatest avowed enemy.
