The last three heroes of a dead realm and a forgotten race find themselves on the world of Seaton as this world approaches an apocalyptic event. The people of Seaton can sense the living mesh of their world and harness magic. Navigating a world of sorcery will prove difficult for the three heroes. Ruarc Ravenstoke, the cursed, a onetime leader of men, a Sol-Perithian hero, and a principal player in the Great Kings War, is lost. Too long the warrior, too long the drifter and the rogue; he exists as a disconnected man, a callous man far removed from the noble and heroic deeds of his youth. Those who know him for the man that he once was, and Keara—the woman that loves him for the man that he may yet be—must help him bridge the chasm that exists within his empty heart. If he is to lead the assembled few, he must first rediscover all that he lost, and with those who would join him, Forge the Way . . .
