Destiny calls for Ambros. The children who hold the balance of this world in their hands gather in the north. Confrontation looms. Battle lines are drawn. War is inevitable. Mage conflict, unknown on this world for aeons, returns with mages from Yarilo called to maintain the equilibrium so critically poised.
Malekim, the rogue mage, leaves his southern Keep where he's lain low and mostly hidden while he regained in strength and power, though what he's set in train for Ambros seems irreversible.
Can a strong, motivated northern army, made up of many peoples of Ambros, hold back the might and power of the Warlord's warrior army that moves inexorably northwards to challenge them?
Ochleos Rox's prophecy, from so long ago, now begins to fulfil itself though Malekim can still ensure it doesn't happen. And other beings stir, restless.
