The war ended, and for the dark people—those who had lived for battles and victory—came the long-awaited era of transformation. But how can those who lived for fighting find their place in a world that is changing? Meliar, a former leader of an army; Beta, an ordinary warrior, the younger star. They are lost and suffering from heavy losses. But soon they learn of an ancient prophecy: after the war, the dark people are destined to set off on a long journey. And that means new assignments will be waiting for Meliar’s foreboders.
