The undead warlord Mordath rules the Five Lands with a fist of iron... and sorcery most foul. Fierce and beautiful, Arwyn the archer lost her family to Mordath's unstoppable troll armies. Now Arwyn journeys in search of a mythic hero's arrow of power—the one weapon that can forever end Mordath's reign of fire Arwyn's quest takes her deep into the desert as she searches for the next of the Five Fragments. But as Arwyn and her troll pursuers race toward the Fragment, it might well end up in the hands of a common thief who was once Gareth's lover.
