Niszczenie nie powinno być takie łatwe. A jednak było i nic tego nie zmieni. Wyzwoliciele przybyli by uwolnić uciśniony lud Imperium Mahryzańskiego. Najpierw zabili wszystkich protektorów i czarodziejów. Teraz czekają. Na co? Na kogo? To pytanie zadają sobie wszyscy, którzy przeżyli masakrę. Caldan nie tylko przeżył, ale też zdołał wyprowadzić z miasta kilkoro ludzi. Ucieczka wydaje się jednak tylko odroczeniem egzekucji. Za ratunek i ocalenie niewinnych ktoś będzie musiał zapłacić. A krew Caldana może okazać się zarówno błogosławieństwem, jak i przekleństwem, przy którym inwazja IIndryallan będzie tylko dziecinną igraszką.
Nie wszystkie potwory wyglądają tak samo. Nie wszystkie służą tylko wrogom. Cesarstwo Mahruzańskie zostało napadnięte i nieuchronnie chyli się ku upadkowi. Życie przyjaciół i towarzyszy wisi na włosku. Nadchodzi zagłada, niesiona pazurami i kłami bestii zrodzonych z koszmaru i pradawnej, zakazanej magii. Skończył się czas posłuszeństwa i dylematów. Nastał czas straceńczej odwagi. Czas, gdy Caldan musi złamać wszelkie zakazy, sprzeniewierzyć się wszystkiemu, czego go nauczono i sięgnąć znacznie dalej, niż kiedykolwiek śmiał pomyśleć. Sięgając po zakazane czary Caldan będzie musiał obnażyć wszystkie swoje uzdolnienia i słabości, rzucić na szalę nie tylko samego siebie, ale i życie swoich przyjaciół i porządek całego Imperium. Obnażony i wyjęty spod prawa, musi wygrać, jeśli chce przeżyć. Jeśli przeżyje, będzie musiał zapłacić za to zwycięstwo. Porażka zgubi cały świat, lecz zwycięstwo pogrąży samego Caldana.
