Die celestrische Kirche - die Kirche der Zwillingsgötter Zinder und Zwietracht - regiert mit eiserner Hand über Tenebros. Die alten Bräuche der Nordclans sind nahezu ausgemerzt, und Paladine der Inquisition jagen die wahnsinnig gewordenen Naturgötter und ihre Anhänger. Lord Malcolm Blakely ringt darum, den Frieden zwischen seinen nordischen Clansbrüdern und den Lords aus dem Süden aufrecht zu erhalten. Doch die alten Vorurteile und Feindschaften schwelen dicht unter der Oberfläche, jederzeit bereit, durch einen Funken neu zu entflammen ...

Ruling with an iron hand, the Church has eliminated the ancient pagan ways. Yet demonic gheists terrorize the land, hunted by the Inquisition, while age- old hatreds rage between the north and the south. Three heroes Malcolm and Ian Blakeley and Gwendolyn Adair must end the bloodshed before chaos is unleashed.

The Celestial Church has all but eliminated the old pagan ways, ruling the people with an iron hand. Demonic gheists terrorize the land, hunted by the warriors of the Inquisition, yet it’s the battling factions within the Church and age-old hatreds between north and south that tear the land apart. Malcolm Blakley, hero of the Reaver War, seeks to end the conflict between men, yet it will fall to his son, Ian, and the huntress Gwen Adair to stop the killing before it tears the land apart.
