Demir Grappo je vyděděnec – vzdal se života plného bohatství a moci a zřekl se svých povinností generála, guvernéra a syna. Když je jeho matka brutálně zavražděna, musí se Demir vrátit z vyhnanství, aby se domohl svého místa v čele rodu, a při vyšetřování odhalil pravdu, že boží sklo, magická síla, která udržuje civilizaci v chodu, dochází. Musí najít spojence a postavit se mocným cechovním rodům, jež hrají zákulisní hry a snaží se vytěžit jakékoliv zbytky božího skla. Pod tím vším Demir odhalí neviditelné spáry něčeho mnohem silnějšího, co ohrožuje říši. Blíží se válka – válka, která se nepodobá žádné jiné. A Demir a jeho sebranka přátel jsou tím jediným, co stojí v cestě konci života, jak ho svět zná.

The country is in turmoil. With the capital city occupied, half a million refugees are on the march, looking for safety on the frontier, accompanied by Lady Flint's soldiers. But escaping war is never easy, and soon the battle may find them, whether they are prepared or not. Back in the capital, Michel Bravis smuggles even more refugees out of the city. But internal forces are working against him. With enemies on all sides, Michel may be forced to find help with the very occupiers he's trying to undermine. Meanwhile, Ben Styke is building his own army. He and his mad lancers are gathering every able body they can find and searching for an ancient artifact that may have the power to turn the tides of war in their favor. But what they find may not be what they're looking for.

As the final battle approaches a sellsword, a spy, and a general must find unlikely and dangerous allies in order to turn the tides of war in this epic fantasy tale of magic and gunpowder by acclaimed author Brian McClellan. The Dynize have unlocked the Landfall Godstone, and Michel Bravis is tasked with returning to Greenfire Depths to do whatever he can to prevent them from using its power; from sewing dissension among the enemy ranks to rallying the Palo population. Ben Styke's invasion of Dynize is curtailed when a storm scatters his fleet. Coming ashore with just twenty lancers, he is forced to rely on brains rather than brawn - gaining new allies in a strange land on the cusp of its own internal violence.

While allied politicians seek to undo her from within, she faces insurmountable odds and Dynize's greatest general.
