Rythian and Kherin have gained one victory over their enemies but the threat of invasion from Tylos is ever-present. Their enemies within the tribe gain new allies and treachery is brewed. The Mage of Tylos schemes to take Kherin prisoner—his captive daemon must be bribed with blood.

Emer and Syth know the price their husbands will have to pay but the survival of their people is at stake. Tylos is amassing a vast army to crush the D'Shael once and for all, and every man, woman and child in the tribe must play their part in the coming battle.

When the unholy might of the daemon enters the fray, it is time for Rythian's god and Kherin's goddess to summon their mortal weapons to a different conflict.
