Synopsis

The Seven Satrapies teeter on the brink of collapse, fractured into four, with the relentless armies of the White King sweeping across them. Amidst this encroaching darkness, Gavin Guile, the former Prism and one-time emperor, finds himself imprisoned. Stripped of his divine magic and trapped within a cell of his own creation, Gavin is not only broken but potentially not alone in his magically constructed prison. As the world descends into chaos, the very man who might have averted total war is now a powerless captive. The fate of a tainted empire hangs by a thread, and new heroes or unexpected alliances must emerge to prevent its descent into something far more sinister. This installment delves deep into the consequences of past choices and the desperate struggle for survival against overwhelming odds.
