Meanwhile, the Empire of Alona has secretly grown its forces and, in a twist of fate, made an unlikely ally in its race for military supremacy which soon becomes moot when they discover themselves to be pawns in an even greater game. And, finally, the utterly belligerent Turak. Friend to none. Potential enemy to all. Who knows what part they will play in this violent struggle for survival? What shall be the Legacy of the Saiph?
