Synopsis
Leandra, a half-elf, travels to the Kronstadt of Illian with Sword Major Blix. There she is meant to claim the throne over the three realms and give hope to a city that has been under siege for months. Outside the walls the enemy army under the war lord Corvulus has gathered and issued a brutal ultimatum. Pyres of the White Flame already burn inside the city, and the thief Wiesel is caught between religious fanatics. Leandra has little time to save Illian before she can be convicted of heresy and executed.
