Befallen by tragedy yet rising to any task, brothers Baric and Hemsey travel west over the Afall mountain range, into the vast wilds of Dovith where men have not openly walked the ancient forest in many centuries. Grand adventure, magic, trials, and travails test their ability to survive as they seek out Emma, the runed girl of prophecy. Together, they will fight to keep one step ahead of the Dominion Legion. Yet sitting high in the Sapphire Keep upon Azelom is King Rovart and his council, who believe the runed girl can destroy their empire. They will hunt her to the very ends of the world. As the reality of imminent attack stares down upon the good people of Afallan, no place is safe. There is nowhere to hide.
