Synopsis: Book two of The Vesteal Series continues the stories of Leger, Barok, Geart, and Dia, who must face war, death, and damnation in their fight against the empire and the designs of a hateful god. As they struggle to survive, the isolated people of Enhedu will confront more than the wrath of the Zoviyan Empire and the unknowable servants of a dark power. They will travel to the places where the mapmakers have lied and the words of the Spirits are a dim and dusty memory. They must strike into the darkness and carve from the empire all those that would do them harm, including their own. While around them, princes and men vie for a divine throne.
