Surrounded by a multi-thousand-strong army in the middle of the Sallador Desert, Fess finds himself trapped by the Holy Inquisition. Help comes from a completely unexpected direction: the followers of the Sallador teaching free him from captivity, believing that a necromancer is the resurrected Dark Mage evengar Salladorian—their Great Master, whom they worship. However, soon Fess will have to face the reverend Etlau again—face to face—and now he’s in for trials even worse than burning sinners at the stake.
Sylvia continues to carry out Ignatius’s plan and keeps pursuing Clara. She constantly encounters mysterious entities who offer her a deal in exchange for unlimited power. In the end, all the heroes will end up in one place—in Skavell—where one of the decisive battles for this world will take place, and the necromancer will make his final choice.
