Blood stains the ancient stones. Giants roam the shadowed forests. And a dark power awakens, hungry to consume the hopes of men. In the Banished Lands, those who can still read the signs see a threat greater than the ancient wars. If the Black Sun gains ascendancy, mankind's dreams will crumble to dust - and be lost forever. This is a tale of blind ambition, of loyalty tested, and of the eternal struggle between light and shadow.
