You’ve been lied to, you are being lied to, and you will be lied to. Outrageously. This world is built on lies!
But there are forces here as well. Though more correct would be to write that word with a capital letter. The new ruler of this world begins sweeping up ever more territories and people. His generals carry the flame of war into cities that have forgotten danger—the distant forest cities. Rome and the Union are trying to move away from the losses they’ve suffered, while the gods continue to use people for some purposes of theirs, still unknown.
And then there’s talk of some legacy of the Shadow… In short, real chaos.
And in all this disorder, our hero must manage not only to survive, but also to become stronger—to get back what was lost and not let down those who will be ready to follow him all the way to the very end.
