Isak, a white-eye with great physical strength, is used as a slave until he learns from the sorcerer Aracan that he is the heir to Bahl, the Lord of the Farlan, and he struggles to become a leader who can bring order to the chaos that exists around him.
Lord Bahl is dead and the young white-eye, Isak, stands in his place; less than a year after being plucked from obscurity and poverty the charismatic new Lord of the Farlan finds himself unprepared to deal with the attempt on his life that now spells war, and the possibility of rebellion waiting for him at home. Now the eyes of the land turn to the minor city of Scree, which could soon be obliterated as the new Lord of the Farlan flexes his powers. Scree is suffering under an unnatural summer drought and surrounded by volatile mercenary armies that may be its only salvation. This is a strange sanctuary for a fugitive abbot to flee to – but he is only the first of many to be drawn there. Kings and princes, lords and monsters, all walk the sun-scorched streets. As elite soldiers clash after dark and actors perform cruel and subversive plays that work their way into the hearts of the audience, the city begins to tear itself apart – yet even chaos can be scripted. There is a malevolent will at work in Scree, one that has a lesson for the entire land: nations can be manipulated, prophecies perverted and Gods denied. Nothing lies beyond the reach of a shadow, and no matter how great a man's power, there some things he cannot be protected from.
For Isak, the time for heartless decisions and ruthless action has come if he is to save the Land from its oppressors . . .
There is a new Saviour in the Land - but the people may come to regret the 'peace' he offers ...
The final reckoning has come: the future of the Land will be decided now and written in the blood of men.
A collection of short stories, set in the world of the Twilight Reign series.
