The stakes have never been higher, nor the odds longer, as High Priest S'Rak, the assassin S'Tyll and Captain Jisten attempt to avert disaster and the ending of the Victory Prophecy.

Only a handful of mortal men stand in her way, and as she seeks to brush them aside, they must stand firm, stand together or all might be lost.
