But the victory cost her everything. Now she is exiled and alone in the city of Istarinmul, far from her home and friends. Yet a centuries-old darkness now stirs in Istarinmul, eager to devour the city and the world itself. And Caina is the only one that stands in its way...

Caina Amalas has found the lost relics of Iramis, but with the relics comes deadly peril.

Yet if Caina and Callatas do not work together, they are doomed. For the last of the fearsome Great Necromancers, Kharnaces the Heretic, laid his sinister trap long ago, and its jaws now close around his former pupil Callatas.

And he will start with Caina Amalas.
