But unrest is growing in recently conquered territories, and a brutal war against the Kingdom of Tsard begins to turn against Estorea. As armies clash and loyalties are tested, Herine relies on Paul Jhered, head of the Gatherers, to hold the empire together.

Far from the battlefield, four extraordinary children are discovering powers unlike anything the world has seen. Able to touch the elements and shape the world around them, they are the first true Ascendants.
