He took down the 13th Paragon. He escaped the House of Falling Rain and the predatory spirit lurking within its shadowy halls. Now, Salla Saar is the only man in the Majdi Order capable of learning the truth behind the chilling silence coming out of the quarantined isle of Ceynallus. The Order told him it would be a simple mission. They were wrong. It was no ordinary disease that shut down the borders of the island, but a viral pandemic that transformed its populace into ravening, desiccated hordes. With only the aid of a small pocket of survivors, Salla must discover the ancient roots of this unnatural plague, and either contain or destroy it. Should he fail, the future holds only one certainty: a barren world dominated by the vicious throngs that have overtaken Ceynallus…a place that long ago had been known as the Isle of the Sleeping Gods.

An explorer savagely murdered. A journalist who vanished without a trace. A series of energy spikes from a seemingly uninhabited range in the heart of an active war zone. These are the breadcrumbs that lead Salla Saar and his spirit hunting Malisguard team to the hidden village of Storyvale. The source of the energy spikes appears to be a woman named Miryn Jal, a gentle sun chasing away the perpetual gloom that shadows the isolated hamlet. But in the presence of such light, there also lurks an undeniable darkness. Something haunts the surrounding woods, killing the Valers one after another in swift, grisly succession. As Salla tries desperately to reconcile the connection—if any—between these two powerful beings from opposite ends of the spectrum, he knows one thing for certain: she must be protected at all costs. If he loses her, all hope for the future vanishes with her.

The hard part lies ahead: find a set of dangerous artifacts known as the Eyes of the One that have lain hidden away and protected by mystical wards for centuries. In order to locate the Eyes, the pair must follow in the footsteps of master explorer Dalte duCarde. The journey takes them half a world away and into a savage, primordial jungle...one from which duCarde never emerged. All the while, time is running out. The Gargazant Ikahn syndicate is at the precipice of discovering the lost city of Tempusalist. If they succeed, the mad overlord at their helm—the 13th Paragon himself—will possess all he needs to transform his legions into an unstoppable army, one poised to crush every single nation on the planet.

There’s only one path to redemption, and that road leads him back into the past, to Natke. If he can’t set things right and stop the syndicate from reaching a lost city of untold power, there is only one outcome: WAR.

Something is killing Salla Saar. Ever since using the power of the Eyes of the One locked within him to locate Tempusalist and put an end to the 13th Paragon, the attacks have come, powerful and acute. Sometimes it’s as minor as a blackout. Other times, it’s as if he’s being broken to pieces from the inside out, and the next episode could be his last. He suspects it has something to do with the Eyes of the One, but why has their power turned on him now? Once in the custody of the Majdi Order, the peace-keeping sect that has been hunting him since Tempusalist, his fate is decided: Salla Saar is too dangerous to walk free. That declaration grants him a sentence to the House of Falling Rain—a retraining facility for wayward Majdi. Yet among the misfits of the Order housed in these decrepit corridors, there is another presence lurking, something filled with a dark and terrible purpose.

Three dark empires ally as three dark gods merge into one unholy trinity. Concepts concerning life cycles, evolving, revolving into passing seasons, yin and yang, are all immersed into a ballistic journey laden with symbolism. The Christian Crusades were a skirmish in comparison as some deep journeys are inevitably drenched in blood. Dark dragons seize the moment to defy their god given tasks to protect the lower races from genocidal tendencies. Evil dragons were to protect the darker races of ogre, troll, goblin and such, while good dragons protect elf, dwarf, and human. Dragons no longer wish to play their protective roles. Instead, evil dragons intend to captivate and cultivate elves, humans and dwarves like sheep, cattle or pigs. An island sets in the center of the World Sea that provides the perfect rest stop for flying dragons. Rampaging evil denizens dominate the isle, but both an elf and a human empire have naval outposts upon the fringes of the rocky coastline. Between the two military installations sets the finest trading city that elf and man has ever established together. Neither of the two empires intends to let this fair city fall without a bloody rumble.
