A God walks the world in the flesh. The prophesized gather. Creations of dark magic and blood stalk those who would save the world. Those who were hidden are revealed, and the true state of the world is shown. Anthea emerges a changed being, and the whole Broken Crown goes to war behind her and her companions. As the game of tug-of-war for the world's fate enters its final stage, who will win and who will lose, and what will be the cost to the peoples of the Broken Crown?
