Five years have passed since the mysterious events described in «The Chronicles of the Blighted Throne».
Everything suggests that the Annurian Empire is drawing toward sunset. A devastating war and civil unrest have weakened the state’s power. Almost completely destroyed is the elite war unit that flew on gigantic hawks—pride and glory of the empire. The gates have shut, by means of which the descendants of the Malkenian dynasty could instantly move to any point in the world.
To restore the numbers of the winged soldiery, the emperor sends an expedition in search of the legendary nesting place of battle hawks. The dangerous route leads through lands where all living things perish or undergo terrifying changes. Chances of surviving this march are extremely slim, just as time is too short to return the realm its former might—yet action must be swift, because an ancient, powerful enemy has awakened on the edge of the empire…
And then, in the Dawn Palace, a monk arrives demanding the highest audience. He claims he knows the key to the wondrous gates. But this sly man sells his secret knowledge at too high a price…
