The war against the usurper Lorkas drags on with no end in sight. Three quests have been dispatched to gain support in liberating the city of Kurault from his grip. But, as of yet, not one has been completed. On the war front, General Gardois has been arrested for attempted murder and awaits execution. To the south, two witches continue their search for a lost monarch and run afoul against a despot who is just as powerful as he is mad. To the east, a scholar of evil accompanies a witch to confront wickedness beyond reckoning. And to the North, five mages seek out two children held prisoner by an indestructible war machine with a will of its own. But these troubles are only the beginning, for in a land far away, a new threat emerges that will encompass the land of the Pix in violence and destruction unseen since the time of the Demon Wars
