Ashlord and Longhand armies battle for control of the Empire as Dividian rebels do their best to survive the crossfire. Adrian, Pippa, and Imelda each came out of the Races with questions about their role in the ongoing feud. The deeper they dig, the clearer it is that the hatred between their peoples has an origin point: the gods. Their secrets are long-buried, but one disgruntled deity is ready to unveil the truth. What are the gods hiding in the underworld? The heroes will do everything they can to aim their people at the true enemy-- but is it already too late? -- adapted from jacket
