Set in the epic landscape of Ro, this heroic fantasy saga introduces a world reminiscent of medieval Europe, where magic is rare and primarily held by priesthoods. The city of Ro Canarn faces an assault from the Knights of the Red, led by a Karesian Enchantress of the Seven Sisters, who seeks to manipulate the men of Ro. This attack is just the beginning of a larger scheme to eradicate the worship of the Gods of men and resurrect a malevolent Forest Giant. The young Lord of Canarn and his friend devise a daring plan to reclaim their city, while his sister confronts the Sisters' ambitions in the north. Amidst geographical divides and overwhelming enemies, a diverse group of Clerics, Priests, Knights, and warriors must unite to reclaim their lands from those unknowingly influenced by the Dead God and his Enchantresses. With the Duke of Canarn executed and chaos reigning, hope lies with the Duke's children, Lord Bromvy and Lady Bronwyn, who evade their father's fate. Separated and pursued by the King's mercenaries, Bromvy seeks the aid of the enigmatic Dokkalfar, while Bronwyn heads for the Grass Sea and its warriors. Meanwhile, in Fjorlan, High Thain Algenon Teardrop mobilizes his Dragon Fleet against the Red Army, setting the stage for brother against brother in this gripping first volume of the long war.
