Elloren Gardner Grey has accepted her destiny as the Black Witch of prophecy and claimed her role as a Dryad protecting the Forest. Shadow consumes the world around her while she grieves devastating losses of companions and loved ones. The Bearers of the Wand of Myth scatter across a crumbling realm, fighting to reunite for one last stand against destruction. Mage Vogel's forces advance from one direction while the Eastern Realm's armies approach from another, both seeking Elloren's death. Her bonded mate carries a prophecy that demands he kill her. Shadow demons emerge as old alliances fracture under pressure. Erthia teeters on the edge of complete ruin. The survivors must overcome their divisions and rally together, or watch their world fall to the approaching storm that threatens to destroy everything they have fought to protect.
