The beginning of a conflict which will change two worlds... When Ordaefus, Song Priest of the Elvayn, discovers that his people are capable of a new, incredible ability, his brother, Mahaelal, believes that this new way is wrong - an affront to the very foundations upon which the Elvayn built their civilization. And when war breaks out, both brothers must make a choice - do they fight to protect what they believe in, or surrender, and exchange freedom for restriction? What choice do they have left, when all choices lead to destruction and death?
