The terrible war begins, in which forces of Darkness and forces of Light rise against the necromancer at the same time. Under the walls of the Black Tower, the father-executor Etлау brings thousands of warriors—whose deaths are meant to become the final drop on the scales of Good and Evil, allowing the Destroyer to embody itself. However, events take an unexpected turn. Fess, unwilling to play the role assigned to him by the Western Darkness, breaks out of the encirclement—yet not at the cost that was prescribed. Where will his path lead him now? Who will stand shoulder to shoulder with him in defense of Eviаl and everything that is Ordered?
