Publisher's Synopsis
Master Vrauth, prime creator of the Sect of Thruum continues his advance as his agents and beasts spread death across the land. His actions seem to grow more and more reckless with each passing day. Even some among the sect begin to suspect his madness is overriding his faith. What are his goals? Why is he so hellbent on destroying everything around him? While Sister Shania tries to uncover his motives, he continues to swell and expand his presence. Vrauth threatens to expose them to the world at large through his actions. No one suspects his ultimate goal.
As the sect continues its advance and destruction, Captain Brick guides the survivors of Sabline to the safety of Peccadillo then prepares for a rescue mission for any who might have slipped through the cracks. His duty is to his people. Stench, Lancel and Vissus are there to support him. Meanwhile Vallen, Farrah and Tamaran gather a rescue mission of their own to save Lady Velooth from the sect's clutches. New faces are surfacing and weaving into the tapestry of fate surrounding Thruum's cult. How do a flamboyant dancer, a foreign inventor, a defected priest and a nomad chieftain's daughter fit into the growing puzzle? According to the dragon Tribunesh everything is part of the destiny unfolding. Can the heroes wrest back control of the lands before Master Vrauth destroys everything in his crazed search for power? Can they at least hold ground until reinforcements from the king and the government arrive to squash the invading cult? Only time will tell.
