When the entire world erupts into war, can anyone triumph?
An ancient Conjurer escapes from his imprisonment in the spirit world. Bent on revenge, he raises an army of demons crafted from stolen flesh and bones.
An uneasy alliance of magicians is formed to oppose him, but they soon realise that even with their might combined, it will not be enough to survive the coming storm. In desperation, they seek help from distant, long-alienated kin. Among them is Kayla Freeland, a young woman who may be the key to unlocking the long-forgotten magic of the fallen House Calm, perhaps the only means of stopping the Conjurer and his endless minions.
Far to the West, a barbarian High King launches an all-out invasion. Old rivalries are reignited and alliances tested as nobles and commoners alike are thrown into chaos by the sudden aggression. A young, naïve King and a conscripted thief find themselves forced to work together to survive.
As kingdoms fall, the unlikely heroes must overcome fear, loss and remorse to unite fragmented armies and feuding magicians against their merciless enemies, or face subjugation.
