​
Can a reluctant prophet, an older woman, and a teenage runaway save their world from destruction?
The Thousand Years War between the Abrhaani and the Eniila has ended, but an insidious danger looms over Aarda—the Nethera. These demons lurk behind the scenes, manipulating events until they are ready to strike and enslave both species. Only one man sees the danger.
Rehaak, an Abrhaani scholar plagued by prophetic visions, is cast out by his people for questioning their beliefs. He withdraws to a distant corner of Khel Braah, becoming a healer. But everything changes when he meets Isil, an older woman scarred by ritual abuse and loss. She knows of a book that can aid Rehaak’s mission, but he must leave his refuge to find it.
Rehaak resists his calling until he rescues Laakea, a teenage Eniila warrior fleeing a shameful past. Together, the three outcasts form a bond, finding healing and support in each other. Rehaak finds friends who believe in him, Laakea finds acceptance, and Isil finds a son to replace the one she lost.
Together, they must defeat corrupt leaders and deadly assassins to stop the Nethera. Failure means the enslavement of their species and the destruction of life on their planet.

With demon-worshipping assassins closing in, Rehaak, the heretic, stands at a perilous crossroads. Should he continue his desperate quest alone, or risk the lives of his closest friends in the search for the ancient book that could save their world?
Laakea, the young warrior, has crafted powerful weapons to defeat the demons threatening their realm, but lies in a coma, unable to wield them. Isil, the healer, sings ethereal prayer-songs, desperately praying to restore Laakea’s health and save her adopted son from death’s cold grasp.
In far-off Abalon, two brave Sokai youngsters have foreseen the trio’s plight and long to help. Yet, the Sokai Synod Council dismisses their prophecies and forbids any involvement. All seems lost until Eideron, an aged man and victim of political intrigue, steps forward. He offers to unlock the youths' hidden powers and lead them through the treacherous wasteland to freedom. It’s now up to them to rescue Rehaak and his friends or die trying.
