War is looming in the distance and the Renge's soul is the prize. The newly resurrected Black Ring is left in what had once been Valthrid, abandoned by the Inquisition. The schism has caused animosity between Grand Inquisitor Jenarra and the demon king Baltoroz. The forner Master of the Dark Ring is but a shell of his former self, driven by jealousy and greed. And Golmagug is no longer human...or cohesively sentient.

Madness reigns as three dark powers vye for dominance and rulership of the Renge. Two want religious control as well as imperial control. One simply wants the power that the emperor wields.

As the battles rage on, the time draws nearer to the end of it all. In this, the tenth book of "The Prophecy", the chaos begins to build. But who will win? Will the Renge be saved?
