Overview

Fifteen centuries have passed since Merris Brightpaw drove her blade through the heart of darkness beneath the Burrowlands. Her deeds echo in tavern songs, her sword rests in sacred stone-yet something stirs in the deep places where light fears to tread. Babax Merrifur seeks nothing more than answers when he volunteers for his family's westward expedition. Five years have passed since his brilliant older brother, Stumper, vanished on what should have been a simple trading route to Hollowbrook. The council called it misfortune-raiders, storms, deals gone wrong-but Babax never believed them. What begins as a merchant's quest for truth becomes something far more perilous. The realm comes apart at its seams around him-caravans vanishing without a trace, mercenary companies turning feral, and whispers of a hunger that devoured civilizations before the first kingdoms drew breath. When bloodline secrets claw their way from his family's buried past and powers long dormant crack the world's foundation, Babax faces a choice that will echo through ages yet unborn. Merris herself haunts his dreams now, her ghostly warnings sharp as the blade she once wielded. Around him gathers a fellowship marked by shadow and flame-warriors bearing scars from forgotten battles, wanderers who speak with the voices of the dead, and allies whose very souls burn with otherworldly fire. Together, they walk a path that leads beyond family loyalty and into the realm where prophecies take flesh and legends bleed. The blade rose once to save the world. But can a merchant's son wield what a hero forged when the truth he seeks may destroy everything he holds dear?
