For centuries, two nearly-immortal races-the Krotanya, followers of Light, and the Leishoranya, servants of Darkness—have been at war. Both races use mental powers in addition to the sword and bow. But because of their moral scruples—the Krotanya use their powers only to defend, not to attack—they have suffered defeat after defeat and been driven deep into their ancestral lands. Now the Leishorznya prepare a final blow under the leadership of the dread warlord SSenkahdavi, most skilled of all in the powers of Dark. Against him stand the brothers Kahsir, Alaric and Haskon, and their father and grandfather, last living leaders of the Krotanya. The Light's only hope is th appearance of the rumored savior Hjshraiel...but will he arrive in time.

The follow-up to Twilight's Kingdoms. The Followers of Light have strict rules about using the power of their minds only for defense. But the Servants of Darkness are winning, for they have no scruples to constrain their magic. And only the Mind-Born prince Kahsir stands in their way.
