Aaron Jace barely survived his last encounter with the Drake, a ruthless technological advancement constructed to murder the Alenzar'seth, the Lords of Shandara. Sarah, the woman he loves, has been kidnapped by the deadly machine, and Aaron's closest allies suggest he abandon all hope of ever seeing her again. As Aaron recovers, rumors of the Alenzar'seth's return begin to spread throughout Safanar, causing kingdoms to mobilize their armies for war. The pressure is rising, and Aaron knows the people of Safanar are all in grave danger. Aaron has one shot to protect his love and stave off war, but it will leave him vulnerable to the cunning High King Amorak and the vile Elitesmen Order. If he fails, the world will fall, and nothing can save Sarah from an irreversible transformation.
