Tyrus of Kenatos has made it his life’s work to banish the plagues that
ravage the kingdoms. He believes the answer to ending the devastation
lies in the Scourgelands. Yet, Tyrus’s first expedition into the cursed
woods failed after being defeated by mysterious minions who stalked and
killed most of his band.
Now a prisoner in his own tower, Tyrus
has summoned his nephew Annon — a Druidecht possessing innate magic called the fireblood — on the guise of finding a hidden treasure with which to
purchase his twin sister Hettie’s freedom. But in reality, Tyrus is
using his niece and nephew, and their magic, as an opportunity to escape and resume his desperate mission. And to aid them, he has enlisted the
warrior-monk Paedrin — who is almost as green as the siblings when it
comes to traveling these troubled lands. The trio is determined, and
along the way they grow to trust each other — and new additions to the
group — in order to accomplish their missions... whether or not those
missions are one and the same.
But the Arch-Rike — ruthless ruler
of Kenatos — has learned of these plans, and has sent the fearsome Kishion to destroy all those that oppose him. Now Tyrus and his unwitting
allies must face down not only the plague, but this new enemy — and
fulfill their quest before a fresh horror is unleashed on the world.
