Over Two hundred years have passed since blood magic was outlawed throughout all the Kingdoms of Rincair. The altars were pulled down, the books burnt and the Blood Acolytes put to the sword. King Huren, the greatest Blood-Mage of a thousand years, was cast down and imprisoned - sentenced to a torment without end. For centuries peace has reigned throughout all the lands and the people have prospered, but now a shadow is stirring. From the forest strongholds of Rayshar to the salt lashed islands of Dentor come the whispers of a growing darkness. The blood acolytes have risen again and they have only one goal, to free their master and drown the realm in red. Kysindra is a Princess, raised by the Sisters of the Grove and strong in the old magic. Will she be able to stop the coming storm or will Rincair once again be plunged into blood and Darkness?.
