Synopsis
The Raven have kept their promises, but fate is not finished with them. The war between the colleges of magic goes on, and Tessaya's horde attacks the Dark Colleges. Cornered, the mage Dystran tears open the boundaries between realms. This lets a predatory entity from another dimension sense the souls of Balaia and turn its attention to the land. Whether the Raven can stop the predator is left open.
