Lyn and Sylviri are brought into a war that had been fought on two fronts. The first was to keep the kingdom J'ren from being over run by orc forces. The second was in support of the kingdom Y'irin, which was busy in their defense to keep the Heverian forces from their intended target of J'ren and the Freelands. At that exact moment Vange was doing his best to prepare for the army that had been on the march for Faerlion and for his people. Jarod's fate was still unknown because the heroes were constantly busy with these battles. Profound secrets will at last be revealed, and so too will the fate of the world known as Kracksos.
