The Society of Ancient Magic is mysterious, magical, and one hundred percent evil… and their time is up. It’s all come down to this. The Society has given up any pretense that they are here for the betterment of our people. They’ve shown the truth that they’re interested in one thing only: The rise of mages with Ancient Power, and the rest be damned. They’ve been a mainstay in our world for almost two hundred years. But now their time is up, and with the help of my men, I’m going to burn it all down… or die trying. We’re nearly out of moves in this chess match. The fact that my men are dire wolves is known to all, and the hunters are closing in. The prophecy that hangs over us continues to unfold in unexpected ways, and the Society keeps moving forward with their plans for domination. The lines have been drawn. Everything that matters to me is at risk… and now it’s personal. Just as prophecy foretold: It’s time for the Nightbird and her Shadow Walkers to do what we were born to do.
