Sorcery disappeared from the world over two thousand years ago. But one man, an amnesiac, possesses the lost art of sorcery. He does not age, does not die, and does not remember anything about his past. Far across the continent, a blacksmith’s apprentice is drawn to this sorcerer through a series of visions. Their meeting becomes the start of a quest that leads them across the continent, through long abandoned cities and lands scarred by the ancient wars of the gods, and into the very beating heart of darkness, in order to defeat an ancient evil that can destroy the world. They are joined by a warrior fleeing certain death, and a thief from the unforgiving deserts in the south, on his own quest for redemption.
Why are people driven to seek out the sorcerer? Who or what is responsible for their visions? And what part does the last sorcerer have to play in combating the evil that threatens to consume the world? As the world sits on the brink of destruction, the unlikely heroes race to find answers that can help turn the rising tide of evil, before it’s too late.
