Explore the far-off continent of Taladas in the exciting conclusion to The Taladas Chronicles! As war and devastation spread across the continent of Taladas, a small band of heroes has just suffered a devastating loss in a fight to determine the worlds fate. Barreth Forlo, their leader, has been possessed by the spirit of Maladar the Faceless, a sorcerer-king who seeks to return to power, by whatever means necessary. Now Shedara and Hult, Forlos companions, must push on without him, bound for the safety of the distant Rainward Isles. Pitted against their friend, they must find a way to stop Maladar from raising his ancient empire from the ashes of history --and the answer may well lie in Forlos own son, who carries a secret even he doesnt understand.
