War has come to Alluria.
With King Darnashi under the control of necromancy wielded by Prime Magus Encheron, the Wizardlord's must pledge their allegiance or face the costs of treason.The Elves of Zalanthas have thrown their support behind Prince Kal, but Kal might be more Allurian than they bargained for. When Kal's dreams connect to the tortured soul of his brother, King Darnashi - the war takes a much deadlier turn.
An army of the dead has risen and Encheron wields their commander. While Zalanthas and Alluria fight their war, Encheron is making deals with the Shadowlord to ensure his own claim over Alluria, but when he promises the Heart of Creation in exchange for his power, he may have doomed them all.
