Esar-Haden, the lovable dark elf thief, rots in a dank dungeon-awaiting the executioner's axe. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to him, an order of knights searches.
One of the knights, Sir Gilroy, finds Esar-Haden and frees him-much to the dark elf's surprise. What's this all about, he wonders. What he doesn't know, but is soon to find out, is that he plays a part in a prophecy-a part he is loathe to play.
Artain Geddes, high wizard in service to the King, grows old and frail. Magic has extended his life past what nature allotted. He wants more. Patience, he reminds himself, as a long-unfolding plan is coming to fruition.
Brother Chulainn Callan knows he hasn't long to live, despite his health and youth. He's seen his death at the hands of a dark elf. He must find him, not to stop the heinous act-to ensure it happens.
Keir D'Arcy hasn't long to live, either. He knows it and is fighting like hell to save himself. He will go to any length to preserve what is most precious to him.
Don't miss this, the most exciting and dramatic Esar-Haden adventure yet!
