The demon horsemen tear the surface of the planet apart in their war for domination, one against the other, bleeding the nations of the land to extinction. Ang’Gelian berserkers attack will-o-the-wisps and the families they accompany, and no one knows why. Hiroc, the Emerald Gale, is unleashed to rescue the victims and solve the mystery. His determination is undeterred until he rescues a young widow and promises to reunite her with her daughter. To do so, he will need the help of exiled gods, and their service does not come free.
