Having finally managed to claw his way back to The World of Light, Orlon Rin awakens to find himself being tended to by a timid girl that is much more than she seems. While trying to determine what to do about his injuries, a long-forgotten enemy from his past returns to plague him and force a confrontation. Worlds away in The Nightlands, Temin yearns to continue his quest to save his mysterious savior, The Faceless, but must set it aside due to his crippling injury. Aided by the fierce warrior Seed, he instead takes a gamble and heads toward Aurastur, one of the demon princes, who holds both the power to heal him and the power to destroy him.
