The Patriarchy is over... Elainea is placed in a position she never wanted, to be someone she never thought she could become. Everything they fought for, sacrificed for has been in pursuit of a lie...or at the very least a half truth. Feeling the same sense of doubt, Kaison and Akronius question Alric about his encounter in the forbidden woods. Had he really understood The One correctly? Had he really even spoke with Him? So many question, so many possible outcomes. Now that The Dark Lord has complete control over David, he has joined forces with Sybella, creating a united front of pure evil. The wolves, long thought extinct, have answered Naia's call. Not only joining with the group of men but reuniting her with a family she never knew. Akronius is given wings of freedom and charged with an unwanted task. The call went out and was answered, thousands from the south are on the March. Will they reach Elainea and her group in time? Will they be strong enough to push back the darkness?
