In the far reaches of the Western Continent, war rages. The Alëian Empire has lost control of Baridoria, the largest province under their rule. The Baridorian throne was taken by Romley, a ruthless and indomitable warrior. But the loss of Baridoria isn’t the Alëian Empire’s only threat. A terror from the far north that hasn’t stirred for hundreds of years has come down from the mountains, pillaging towns and villages, leaving none alive. Here follows the accounts of three people living in the time of the War of Vengeance: In Cerieska, the capital of the Alëian Empire, Tharsyll, a young soldier, prepares to go to war on the far side of the world against Romley’s army. Together with his comrades, he must face the fearsome Baridorian Army. In the dark lands of Baridorian, Roy sits in a prison cell, doomed to die a slave. His life is forever changed when he’s forced into a band of murderous marauders, the Black Star Carnival. In a far-off lake-town, Amrica watches the horizon in horror as she realizes she’ll have to run and hide if she’s going to survive. She cannot let them see her, for the beasts of the north are always hungry. This is the War of Vengeance.
