A whisper in the dark. A knock at midnight. And the beginning of a war that could consume the Four Realms.
Rheyden and Rhiannon, twin siblings anointed by the Gods, are jolted from sleep by a desperate knock. Laban, the Lycian king, arrives with chilling news: Romant, leader of the Novikai, has been captured during the brutal fall of Tiras, and now languishes in the Iron Gate—General Yurgon’s infamous stronghold.
But it’s the lone survivor who follows that sets fate in motion. Bloodied and broken, she speaks only one name: Rhiannon.
As Yurgon’s army grows—swollen with monstrous creatures and traitorous men—the twins embark on a perilous journey into the cursed Sands to rescue Romant and the scattered remnants of his people. Yet the road ahead holds more than sand and shadow. When a ghost from their past reemerges, long-buried secrets rise, threatening to tear apart their mission—and their bond.
