Something is amiss in the kingdom of Lorenth. During one of the expansion missions, the humans determine they are no longer alone in the world as they once thought. In fact, the men are viciously attacked by the elves of IlluDar. Sentient, magically adept dragons, dwarves, elemental races, treants, dryads, sprites, ice elves, and woodland elves compose the fae races that for generations have lived in a silent pact with the humans, never revealing their presence until the humans breached their borders. Meanwhile, a restless and vile taint seeks a vessel to dominate-a living corruption spawned from the conflict between the three imprisoned deities: Sarik, Ethoni, and Deimar. This taint finds such a vessel in Seneschal Dean-second in command of the human armies of Lorenth, led by the noble priest-king, Arimas. Age-old prophecies entwine around events leading to the beginning of the time of silence-the time when the Tear of Deimar made its call, searching for the promised Lightbringer who must eventually stand to face the Seed of Corruption and right the balance of Caliyon for good. An unlikely combination of warriors unites to defeat the mysterious threat.

The soul stealer has risen and the fate of the infant Lightbringer now hangs in the balance. The human race finds itself oppressed by the former Lorenthian seneschal as his powers grow into the realm of necromancy. Skeletal hordes, soul bound revenants, ghasts, wights, and even bone dragons heed the call of the soul stealer as his minions strike fear into the hearts of human and fae alike. Even hope becomes threatened as the fae races remain indecisive about how to act in response to the prophecies of old. Yet hope is not lost... the infant Lightbringer must live to stand against the evil that rages across the land, even as the balance of creation begins to shift. Some of the fae have chosen to indulge themselves in the human emotions of hope as the light of prophecy begins to illuminate the answer to the dilemma of the soul stealer. Yet is this new enlightenment really the only course of action left to the living races of Caliyon? Some fear the cost of victory may be too high a price to pay...

Craig Waddell presents essays investigating Rachel Carson's influential 1962 book, "Silent Spring." In his foreword, Paul Brooks, Carson's editor at Houghton Mifflin, describes the process that resulted in "Silent Spring." In an afterword, Linda Lear, Carson's recent biographer, recalls the end of Carson's life and outlines the attention that Carson's book and Carson herself received from scholars and biographers, attention that focused so minutely on her life that it detracted from a focus on her work.
