The Rogue Elf brings his own darkness upon the realm. The western lands tremble. The city of Eh-Rin is under siege and with the nearing eclipse of the moon, the powerful spells protecting the ancient city will fail.

But this is all a distraction. A power worse than all the armies of the land draws near . . . something that has been among them the entire time . . .
