The mystics have a saying: “There is no darkness more profound than that which the blind choose to ignore.” It can be said that the once vigilant people of the Five Countries are very blind indeed - a Witchwraith sits unchallenged upon the capital throne of Foxhall; the Eye of Darkness stirs after a thousand years of silence, yearning for the time when the evil trapped within it can be freed; and ancient bloodlines long dormant now awaken to the call of powers older than Time to preserve the delicate balance woven into the great Tapestry of Fate. Urged by a series of strange and prophetic dreams, Kiernan Avenain, the sole possessor of these two legendary bloods, is drawn into a perilous adventure in pursuit of a destiny he does not wholly understand - a destiny upon which the fate of the entire world, and all that he holds dear, is hinged.
