A war between mages and people split the kingdom’s territory into two parts, distorted nature, and shattered harmony, giving rise to monsters. The land on the other side of the barrier is forever lost to the rest of the world. Isn’t that a perfect hideout for the fugitives hunted by the kingdom’s inquisition and the empire’s army?
Maybe. Too bad we’ll have to find out personally, because crossing back over the barrier is no longer possible.
Fourth book in the series.
