The Battle of Thornhurst is behind Allystaire Stillbright, but the challenges are far from over. After recovering from the costly ordeal, the Paladin must find a way to bring together the bickering Baronies to prepare for the next fight . . .
Meanwhile, the corrupt deity Braech, the Sea Dragon, is not about to yield power that has so long been his. He and the scheming Choiron Symod are assembling a mighty force in a crusade against the newly returned Goddess and her fragile following.
As the final battle approaches, Allystaire, the Arm of the Mother, must rally survivors-including some of his oldest enemies-to face their most powerful foe. For the Sea Dragon only sees two options for the Mother's faithful: submission or death.
