They say a hero is forged in the fires of conflict... I hope they're right. It's hotter than Hell in the desert of the Silent Sands, and I don't just mean the climate. With djinn, fire demons, and a band of nocturnal assassins on my tail, there's no rest for the weary or the wicked. Legend says there is an artifact of unfathomable power hidden within the labyrinth in the heart of this desert, and I'll stop at nothing to claim it for myself. But I'm not the only one who knows about it. Drakkus, Lord of Chaos, has his eye on the prize, too. And unless I can get there first, the Empire of the Five Realms will be plunged into darkness and chaos. Forever. With the help of my band of warrior women, and the magic growing within me, I intend to take the Lord of Chaos head-on. Our path is fraught with danger, the stakes are higher than they've ever been, and there's only one thing I know for sure... Failure is not an option.
