The Battle for Three Realms begins. ¿In the ancient and mystical world of Kamin, the odds are against Urith and his small band of allies. Nearly destroyed by the gods of the sky, their group remain hunted outlaws. During their escape to new lands, the band faces tests to their friendships and loyalties as they go their separate ways. Oslaf finds common cause with a young king, only to have his ideals of warrior honor dashed when he becomes part of a village massacre. Many leagues away, Urith becomes an unwitting tool in the deadly intrigue of overlords after an assassination leads to war between the two rival kingdoms. He must divert their search for the Skool to find their companion, Mivraa, who endures brutality at the hands of her brother gods. While the gods manipulate their powerful human allies, a banished Guardian reemerges from the Great Void. The ancient deity unleashes night monsters upon the innocent people, seeking to disrupt the delicate balance between gods and people. Only the growing power inside the Shield of Skool can stop the slaughter.
