The Fourth Book of Storm and Fire is here!

Talaos, the Storm's Own Son, has swept aside all who opposed him, and brought unity to war-torn Hunyos. He has dared to claim the fallen title of Imperator, the first in six hundred years. But his true enemy, the Living Prophet, has not been idle.

Danger grows in the world, and within himself. Gentle-mannered emissaries gather new followers in nearby lands. Hostile armies ride from the trackless plains, and traitors lie in wait at home. Three shades, the ghostly wills of his enemy's mightiest servants, circle inside his very soul, severing him from the source of his power.

Yet the power Talaos now seeks is far greater. It demands choices that cannot be undone, at a price he cannot yet foresee.
