Beyond the colossal ridges called the Dragon’s Teeth—where the icy breath of the Were-Wind cannot reach and the flame of primal beginnings cannot reach—above the walls of Fangdred Castle rises the Tower of Winds. In this lonely stronghold lives an immortal mage, and for the sake of an old love, Nepanta, sister of the Queens of Storms, he kindles a war…
A Child of October.
October is the time when the foliage turns the color of blood, and the wind seeps through to the bones; it is the season of grim and inexplicable events. A child of Darkness is born to the Queen, and its cry carries far beyond the Dragon’s Teeth, to the very edge of the world, where Nepanta and the Jester await war—one that would make even sorcerers falter.
The Onslaught of Darkness.
At the outskirts of the empire, war is not only the underworld. In the halls of death the Jester will lose old comrades, but will find new allies among blood-soaked, bone-strewn fields. The Child of War will seize the Sword of Truth, and at last the fateful secret of the Star Rider will be revealed.
