“Light in the Darkness” is the eighth and final book of the cycle “The Outcast.” At the beginning of the story, the young baron Coris Van Iser and his people are punished for murder by being exiled to the Wild Lands. This is equal to a death sentence: surviving in the forests teeming with undead is practically impossible. But Coris, who contains within himself the souls of three different people thanks to magic, inspires his subordinates into a feat: having built an impregnable fortress among bare rocks, they repel enemy attacks. Meanwhile, the baron himself, at the cost of heroic efforts, destroys the tomb of Taris the Necromancer—the main culprit behind all the ominous events, including raids by shurds and undead on forest settlements. However, the price Coris paid is high. To fight evil, he himself becomes evil—by letting something dark into him. He gains monstrous power, but no one knows how long he will be able to control it.

In the eighth book, events accelerate rapidly. Coris makes a sortie along the trail of Taris the Necromancer’s hastily departed army and discovers evil far older than anything he has faced before. Will he be able to survive and win—and is there a path back for a hero who has become a bearer of ancient magic of death? The answer is in the final audiobook of the cycle.
