The ancient lands of Shamir hold many mysteries—Storm’s traps are scattered both in the inhabited and in the abandoned reaches. But there are just as many secrets hidden in the very heroes. And it’s not enough to neutralize the deadly spells of the Forgotten—you also have to understand why the world called to help so many different people. Each of them has an important place in the story that must be learned “before,” in order to help, not harm. And time is running out—until “a quarter to spring” and the final attack of Storm remains very little. The third and final book of the cycle.
