Yet legends are born in strange ways, and the saga of Calidriil is about to begin. How many will suffer the consequences?Befriended by the human Shiva Lahai, a priest of the Rising Star, Sheynon's path leads him to intrigue and romance with a half-elf woman holding secrets of her own. In all the land, adventurers seek to carve their names into history, yet some do so without knowledge of their own destiny, and the greatest fortress ever known is not a castle or a city, but a child's toy, unknown to all, save one elf who learns the secret of generations past, and the blood spilled to gain its powers.
