It’s time to tear away the veil and shed light on the rotten lands. A deal with the gods has been made, and while Ethan learns the past of the First King and the First God, Dartelia is burning in a death pyre. The Council of Seven has lost its game, and now new pieces appear on the board—First Houses and Vegards. Who are they, and what role did they play in the chaos that has taken over? Is it possible to save the King of Weleros, and whose fate is to become the Last Wordcrafter? The answers must be sought on the sacred land of the children of the forest—at Helgura—following the priestess marked by the Ancient Gods.
