Destruction closes in from the North. Dangers gather in the dark. The forces that have shaped Laeka'Draeon's journey are set to collide. The first two Beacon Throne guardians have been awakened. The third lies far away to the east, beckoning Laeka'Draeon and his companions onward in their race to stop a second Manna Eruption from destroying Valadae. But with every achieved triumph the danger grows, not only from the enemies of the old wars, but from within Laeka'Draeon's own company. And from across the allied realms, the centaur prophet Belzor Ven'Ho rises to the call of destiny and, along with his closest companions, takes up arms in a bid to aid in Laeka'Draeon's quest by breaking the enemies' hold over the northern kingdoms. The forces that have shaped the young dragon's journey so far are set to converge, and the effects will be felt across all of Valadae.
