Victory was all but guaranteed but the threads of fate twist in unseen hands. The Kingdom of Remalia has basked in years of peace, but now, a storm foretold in prophecy brews on the horizon. Religious unrest and brutal slave raids from Kushaan give the king the perfect excuse for a long-desired war. Crown Prince Stephir senses doom in the coming conflict, while his brother, Prince Andric, is eager to carve his name into history with blood and steel.

But wars are waged by more than mortals, and the prophecy whispers of unseen players pulling the strings.

With their connection to home severed, a mysterious disease dragging the king toward death, religious persecution erupting into chaos, and an unknown enemy invading, the brothers must race against time-and destiny itself-to save a kingdom slipping from their grasp.
