  <default_description>An ancient weapon has completely destroyed the city of Windwir. From many miles away, Rudolfo, Lord of the Nine forest Houses, sees the horrifying column of smoke rising.  He knows that war is coming to the Named Lands.

Nearer to the Devastation, a young apprentice is the only survivor of the city--he sat waiting for his father outside the walls and was transformed as he watched everyone he knew die in an instant.

Soon, all the Kingdoms of the Named Lands will be at one another&#8217;s throats, as alliances are challenged and hidden plots are uncovered.
