Tim and Abderon head on a new adventure. However, this novel is not about them. The world is broader, and not every story is a happy one. Lurking in the dark, something twirls and stands, stirred awake by the sudden return of the Winged Horse Warriors. Battles not heard off on the surface occur daily, and evil is razing the battlefield. Yet, their advance is slow, and it may take years before the danger forces the Equos to intervene once again like so many times in ancient history, now forgotten by the world and their drug of peace.
Dangers not seen for millennia are crawling back into power, determined to complete their goal. High above the skies, deep within the seas, and buried under the darkest caverns, events deciding the future of Addërêa take place, and not even the wisest know if there is still hope.
