The Empress of Ice has plagued the Illyander Kingdom for
generations. From her Glacial Palace in the Frozen March, she
strengthens her magic and builds her army comprised of savage ice
orcs and men alike. With the addition of her fearsome Shadow Walker
assassins, able to traverse the Void, and her Shadow Drakes, the
Ice Queen has now become a threat to all of Aronshae. With the rise
of adversity so too champions are born from its conflicts. In a
remote pass in the World's Edge Mountains lies the town of
Snowhaven, renowned home of Illyander's Warrior and Sorcerer
Schools. Two young people, twin sisters, who have known its
community and family their entire lives befriend a mysterious
stranger, who has been alone for as long as he can remember. After
strange events touch all their lives, the three find themselves
drawn together and embroiled in the Ice Queen's plot to claim the
world as her own empire that would mirror the horrors festering in
the dark caves below her glacial fortress. As the three youths
journey throughout the world of Aronshae on their quest for
answers, even more questions are raised as they find out more about
each other, themselves and their strange emerging powers.
Routed from her glacial palace in the Frozen March, Salamasca has
fled to the Eastern Kingdom to lick her wounds and gather her
strength once more. The Kingdom of Illyander had earned a temporary
peace with its victory over her ice orc armies, but while the Ice
Queen still lives, she remains a threat to all who walk Aronshae.
No one knows this better than the Ironwright twins, Sasha and
Katya, blessed and cursed by the Great Mother with the power of her
avatar, Akor'shi-kai. With this costly gift, the Snowhaven sisters
have the mystical strength to oppose Salamasca, who has upset the
scales of Aronshae's balance. Jared, Talas, and the Ironwright
twins journey to the mysterious East, a land filled with strange
peoples and even stranger customs, to end Salamasca's threat once
and for all. In the meantime, the Ice Queen has reunited with her
old mentor, Luzige, and her reanimated servant, Roane, to raise an
army of Easterners to crush Illyander and bring all of Aronshae
under her heel. Gathering allies and enemies along their way, the
Illyanders hope to finally destroy the Empress of Ice, knowing all
the while that victory or defeat will mean death for the twins as
they are consumed by the power of Akor'shi-kai. Will the Illyanders
be in time to stop the Ice Queen's rise to power or are they only
rushing to their deaths at the hands of an even more powerful
adversary? As if matters hadn't become complicated enough, the
dragons have returned.
