After decades of internecine warfare, the tribes of the Tiste Edur
have at last united under the Warlock King of the Hiroth, There is
peace--but it has been exacted at a terrible price: a pact made
with a hidden power whose motives are at best suspect, at worst
deadly. To the south, the expansionist kingdom of Lether, eager to
fulfill its long-prophesized renaissance as an Empire reborn, has
enslaved all its less-civilized neighbors with rapacious hunger.
All, that is, save one--the Tiste Edur. And it must be only a
matter of time before they too fall--either beneath the suffocating
weight of gold, or by slaughter at the edge of a sword. Or so
destiny has decreed. Yet as the two sides gather for a pivotal
treaty neither truly wants, ancient forces are awakening. For the
impending struggle between these two peoples is but a pale
reflection of a far more profound, primal battle--a confrontation
with the still-raw wound of an old betrayal and the craving for
revenge at its seething heart.
