The end of a saga and the end of a three decade war…Seth stands at the head of an army of Nocturne traitors and a shaky alliance of the surviving Venishians and Altairens, all of them struggling side by side to put an end to the empire that has ravaged their homelands. Old hatreds are not so easily forgotten though, and after a costly battle in the mountain city of Faelyon, it may not be the emperor who wipes out this little rebellion. They're destroying each other from the inside, and for Seth and Viera, caught on opposite sides of this conflict, love can only do so much in the face of overwhelming fear.Will Seth save his people? Or will the prophecy hold true, forcing him into the doomed mantle of an emperor no different from his tyrannical father?
