Publisher's Synopsis
The storm of war has emerged from the distant horizon. Elves and Men have allied, but they are vastly outnumbered by the evil forces gathering across divided kingdoms. Having vanquished enemies and thwarted the Shadow Prince, the allies maintain possession of the mystical Emerald Star and race to bring its powers of protection to the besieged Dwarves within the Kingdom of Cordilleran.
An ancient mage long thought dead has emerged from centuries of hermitage to help unite all those who remain free against the tyranny of evil. Only he knows the terrible secret of the Emerald Star. In the shadows of ever-growing darkness, the Demon Lord, Abadon, senses the mage's presence and dispatches a lethal demon to destroy him before he reaches Cordilleran.
Meanwhile, in the south, the historic alliance of the Island Kingdoms of Bastlandia and Arcadia, on the verge of celebrating one hundred years of peace, is threatened by treachery. Kael and Galin, while traveling to enlist the aid of the Druid Council, deliver dispatches to both island kingdoms and are drawn into their escalating political upheaval. With the Trade Federation in jeopardy, it is only a matter of time before they set their mighty fleets against one another rather than the true enemy.
Massive armies gather on the border of Cordilleran. Even with the arrival of unexpected allies; General Mekko struggles to unify diverse races to fortify a desperate defense. Can the heavily outnumbered alliance hold out against impossible odds?
What began as a simple breeze has become a terrifying storm emerging from behind the clouds and threatening to consume all that is good.
