Admar's future is a path paved with broken glass. Each step forward living under Scothean tyranny cuts away another piece of his humanity-right down to the very bone.But even a meager life as a miner is better than a pointless death. A sister, a mother, a lover, all lost at the uncaring hands of the Scoths, have left him with nothing but memories and ash for comfort. While stories like his are all too common, they still aren't enough to stoke rebellion among the oppressed.If Admar is to find hope amid the brutal occupation of his homeland, he'll have to question how deep his convictions go. For with every crack of the enemy's whip, he'll know torment. With every swipe of their axes, he'll know suffering. And every moment he refuses to act will drag him further from his destiny.Maybe there are no more heroes left.Or maybe they're waiting to be made.

Prince Barodane could not hold back the darkness. Not even in himself. He laid an innocent city in its grave and then died a hero.In his absence, war whispers across the land.Power-hungry Highborn dispatch spies and assassins to the shadows as they maneuver for the throne, while an even greater threat rises in the South. Monsters and cultists flock to the banners of a mad prophet determined to control reality...and then shatter it.Destiny stalks three to the brink of oblivion.A dead prince that isn't actually dead. Barodane buried his shameful past in a stupor of drugs, drink, and crime, and now, he'd rather watch the world fall apart than wear a crown again.An orphan with hero's blood who is forced to make a harrowing choice: betray her country or sacrifice her first love.And a powerful seer who has no choice at all-her grandson must die.If any of them fails to pay the price...The cost will be the world's complete annihilation.
