Alrou-Mendera reels, thrust into war as their queen is deposed by an ancient cabal, the Khehemni.

But Elohl den'Alrahel and his twin sister Olea have done their duty as Kingsmen and kept their queen alive, in exile.

Queen Elyasin is safe in the wild northlands, with her new highlander husband, King Therel.

But visions of endless war plague the young queen; as Olea is spirited away by an ancient magic, unable to help, Elohl must cross the treacherous Highmountains to find aid for their war-torn nation.

In a desert oasis far to the southeast, Olea learns of Khehem, birthplace of the sinister Khehemni, discovering the origin of their ancient war against the Kingsmen.

As Elohl battles the glacial highpasses and near-assassination, Olea races through a dead city of catastrophic magic, to discover the Khehemni's secrets and how they might be stopped.

But as the last remaining Kingsmen rally to support their queen, war spreads across the nation.

As a darker power rises to the throne of Alrou-Mendera, intent upon ruthless slaughter, can the Kingsmen bring it down?

Or will they fall, as they face an ancient magic even the Khehemni fear-and are powerless to stop?
