Synopsis
Calaius is at peace, but still under threat. The Wytch Lords have regrouped, human magic has grown stronger and politics have become more dangerous. A human mage has created Dawnthief, a spell that could destroy all life, and four magical colleges are competing to seize it, while the Wytch Lords plan to crush the elven nation. Auum and Takaar once led a revolt that united the elves against the humans and won their freedom. Now they must set aside their differences to save their homeland, and the question is whether it is already too late.
