The Noble Dead Saga continues... In her quest to find the orb of Spirit, Wynn Hygeorht is torn between two men who hate each other—her vampire protector, Chane Andraso, and the elf Osha, who has feelings for her. Now a strange series of clues leads them to a remote keep built on the dark cliffs of the coast of Witeny—where an old enemy lurks, ready to destroy her. At the same time, dhampir Magiere, Leesil, and Chap continue their desperate search for the orb of Air. Still hunted by a team of assassins, they escape on the first available ship, only to find themselves under the power of a sadistic captain. Yet even if they manage to survive this voyage, what waits for them at the journey’s end is beyond anything they can imagine....

Waylaid in their quest for the orb of the Air, Magiere, Leesil, Chap and Wayfarer have all been wrongly imprisoned. But it is Magiere who suffers the most as a cloaked interrogator employs telepathic torture. At the Suman port city they seek help, but assistance proves no easy task. The Domin is embroiled in a secret hunt for a spectral undead with the power to invade anyone living and take the body as its host. Even if Wynn can manage to free her friends from prison, battling this entirely new kind of undead hidden inside host bodies may be a challenge none can survive.

Magiere, Leesil, and elven dog Chap are continuing their quest to find the powerful Orb of Air. But they are not alone. Aging elven assassin Brot’an has forced his company on them while also offering his protection. Chap doesn’t believe his ruse, however. As they sail, Magiere struggles with her own dark nature, using Leesil’s love as an anchor to keep her grounded. For the personal price she paid to procure the Orb of Fire was more than she thought—and more than she wants to reveal to anyone. But that is exactly what the cunning Brot’an wants to know. And he is willing to do whatever it takes—even if he must reveal his own dreaded secrets, which may cost the entire party their lives…and their very souls.

Wynn Hygeort is stunned when Magiere and Leesil, along with the elven wolf Chap, show up at the Guild of Sagecraft. But Wynn cannot leave with her friends—she still must access the texts within the Guild’s archives which may help her divine the locations of the last two Orbs sought by the Ancient Enemy. To complete her task—and protect the Orbs—Wynn must remain sequestered from her friends. But she’s essentially a prisoner. One of the Guild’s superiors is just as eager for Wynn to translate the ancient texts, but she knows the others will not permit her to share that knowledge—knowledge Magiere and Leesil desperately need if they’re going to stop the Ancient Enemy from unleashing war on the land…

The New York Times bestselling authors of First and Last Sorcerer present the final breathtaking chapter in their epic Noble Dead saga.... With much relief, Magiere, Leesil, and Chap prepare to hide the last two of the powerful orbs. Once this last great task is completed, Magiere can take Leesil home to a life of peace. Then, rumors reach them that a horde of undead creatures, slaughtering everything in their wake, are gathering in the far east regions of the Suman desert. This gathering could only be caused by the Ancient Enemy awakening. With no other choice, Magiere tells Leesil they cannot go home yet. They must go to the desert and seek to learn if the rumors are true . . . and if so, face an awakening evil: The Night Voice.

Wynn se se svými společníky – upírem Chanem Andrasem a elfskou vlčicí Stín – bezpečně vrátila do Učeného bratrstva. Přestože se jí podařilo získat zabavené deníky, starodávné texty, napsané zapomenutými upíry, jen je zahlédla, a opět jí zmizely z dosahu. Je možné, že i za ten malý úspěch zaplatí vysokou cenu. Nepřátelství ze strany vedení bratrstva totiž ještě zesílilo. Místo aby ji izolovali, záměrně ji tentokrát dají úkol, který ji odstraní z cesty, co nejdéle to půjde. Wynn má však vlastní plány. Vydává se pátrat po další pevnosti trpaslíků: místě jménem Bäalâle Seatt, o němž slyšel jen málokdo. Možná je to místo, kde odpočívá prstenec ducha – jeden z pěti záhadných nástrojů, které Prastarý nepřítel využil v bájné válce v Zapomenutých dobách. Ať už způsobilo pád Bäalâle cokoli, Wynn ví, že do toho byla nějakým způsobem zapojena jedna mytická postava: hanebný Pán masakru. A že přímý potomek tohoto masového vraha, zběhlý Kamenochodec, ji ani na okamžik nespustí z očí. Kéž by to bylo to jediné, čeho se musí obávat…
