In this final instalment of The Forgotten Gods trilogy, the gods are back and they mean business. Disaster strikes when they free Rakadamon and in a fit of pique take away the Alliance members' Talents.

Left powerless, the Alliance is forced to support the gods. It soon becomes clear that the gods not only want to rule, they also plan to enslave.

Kadin will need to call upon the Soldiers of Mort, who helped free Man and Fae from the gods' tyranny five thousand years before. With little knowledge of them and even less of their mysterious leader, Zhokaar, the Alliance knows that this will be a battle to end all battles.
