After the battles, Arian deliberates on the fates of his captives. He takes steps to ensure compliance with the Nehemian Code in dispensing justice to the surviving aggressors. Meanwhile, Parsifal, while visiting Kilani, stumbles on Glenore. However, her condition renders a meeting with Arian futile. Realizing Glenore was beyond reach, Arian finds scant comfort in the discovery of his children. Dutifully, he focuses on completing plans for the Feast of the Sephracals where the mighty of their world will assemble. Despite his internal turmoil, Arian the Magnificent, now General of the Hosts of Nehemia and Zennara, draws closer to Anika. When ancient curses finally abate, he rises beyond his predicament. Eventually, he embraces his long journey into light the only way he knows: Arian's way.

After triumphant return from Persidia, Arian sits in council with his monarchs and commanders to craft strategies for war against the elusive aggressor that continues to wreck innocent lives. He seeks help of other kingdoms and receives surprising responses. He then leads his forces to Kilani where they bivouac on Kalazar's estates. Meanwhile, the enemy strengthens their armies for outright onslaughts to wrest the crowns of Nehemia and Zennara. Once entrenched in Kilani, Arian, posing as an assassin for hire, embarks on a perilous journey leading to discovery of their plans. After a series of relentless offensives, final confrontation occurs in four battles where the toll of war leaves Arian smoldering, for he finds neither comfort nor triumph in death and desolation descending on friend and foe alike. However, the shadow of Glenore looms over his consciousness as recurrent reminder of his failure to find his love, but he remains true to himself and faces his responsibilities in one way: Arian's Way.

This volume comprises verses reflecting a wide range of human emotions and ex-periences, not necessarily the author's own. It attempts to grapple with forces impacting the lives of people here on earth by using images appealing to the senses in bringing these to the fore.
