Mastery of your magic can mean the difference between freedom and utter defeat. All Odessiya holds its breath and craves the Wycaan Master who can set
them free.
Seanchai is a broken elf and a danger to himself and
others. His victories have been won at too great a price and he walks
alone in darkness, though surrounded by friends and light. All Odessiya
waits and watches. A young Wycaan, confident and in his prime may not be enough to defeat the Emperor, but the empty shell that the young elf
has become, seems bereft of hope. Seanchai must seek to complete his
training with those who have rejected all others. He must pass a great
test if he is to return with the skills and resources to set Odessiya
free.
Seanchai knows how to make friends and form alliances, but he also attracts a dearth of enemies. A Master Assassin seeks vengeance on Shayth and Seanchai. He doggedly tracks them together with three
graduates of the Emperor's Military Academy. One holds the destiny of
Odessiya in his grasp and the others dirks poised to stab him in the
back.
Shayth must master his own losses and emotions and make
the greatest decision of his life. He was once destined to walk a path
to greatness but it is his own past that is most likely to destroy him.
All will converge at the Cliftean Pass and when the battle joins, everyone
must confront their fears, their enemies, and their destinies.
