Lost and divided no more, Denin, Else, and Justus have found their purpose—but their enemies are more dangerous than ever. Denin has risen to true wizardry, wielding the soul and power of an Archon. Else has shed the restraints of nobility to lead a secret society of revolutionaries. And Justus has chosen family over duty, setting him on a path to reclaim the throne of Zagaar, now in the clutches of the tyrant Duke Carlo.
Yet, political maneuvers and war could all prove to be folly and distraction as the demon Ilz prepares to escape the Warplands. His defeat hinges on a single the legendary sword, Highest Price. Only with its power can Denin hope to alter Orbis Prime’s doom. The imminent clash of Archons will either save Simondom or shatter it.
