Shadow is on the rise in Secramore as the demon race of Ocrantilians seeks to resurrect their dark god. Their pursuit of the Silver Sigil, the Vessel, and the Key entangles the lives of the unwilling and the unlikely.

Kariayla discovers her true identity, leaving the life of her daughter in the balance. Eraekryst returns to Veloria to discover the origin of the White Aryn and faces his betrayer. The thief known as Wraith will embrace a dark path presented by a corrupt wizard or lose himself to the ghosts that haunt him. And the Demon must betray everyone to save the few that matter most to him.

In facing the threat to the future, they must first confront the events of the past, and their choices may well be what determines the coming of a second Cataclysm.
