Fourteen years have made Talphi stronger, but the Kingdom of Garrin has grown stronger too. The Tokkin lands are at the precipice of annihilation as King Medrick’s expansion methodically consumes their lives. The foresight of Krn’v’rnk has meant that the Tokkin cannot surprise or counter the assault on their home. The Tokkin cling to the hope that they can be delivered from destruction.

Talphi would seem like the obvious solution, but it isn’t that simple. The Tokkin do not know him and they do not trust him. Talphi knows he will not just be fighting the Kingdom of Garrin. He will need to fight centuries of prejudices and beliefs. Will the Tokkin change their beliefs to survive or are their beliefs worth dying for?
