After forging the great Peace of Aerthe, Kelvaar only wanted to be left alone. The discovery of a dark and forbidden magic, long ago stored away in a secret journal, would frustrate those wishes. Kelvaar must find the journal and destroy it before Kindred, or Men, succeeded in summoning one of the Fallen into Aerthe-a fate which his master assured him would occur.

As Kelvaar raced to see it done, he happened upon the Seer's artifact, her gift to one of the Kindred houses. The Seer's Grant was sought by others for dark purposes, something worse than the Fallen trying to get into Aerthe. His master commands that this must be prevented, and the journal retrieved... at whatever cost.
