The Four Lands faces its greatest threat as brutal invaders from across the sea launch their assault, determined to claim this territory as their own. While defenders rally to protect their homeland, a small group embarks on a dangerous voyage to the invaders' own shores, carrying revolutionary technology that could transform warfare forever. The mission grows desperate when the travelers find themselves shipwrecked far from their destination. Meanwhile, a powerful ally has been trapped in the Forbidding, a demon-filled prison with no escape, while the one who banished him now roams free with a terrible demon companion, seeking to grab whatever power she can seize. A young girl races against time to free her mentor before the invasion succeeds. Two separate battles unfold simultaneously as both groups face impossible odds. The fate of two nations hangs in the balance, dependent on whether untested science can reach foreign soil in time and whether it will even function when needed most.
