Storm Upon the Dawn — Christian Warren Freed

The Hierarchy is in its death throes. The High Council has been destroyed. Meisthelm has fallen. Killed in the ultimate act of betrayal, the Black Imelin no longer threatens the world. In his stead, a stronger, more powerful villain has arisen and continues the work he began. Aron Kryte and his companions have occupied the ruins of Meisthelm and now struggle with deciding their next course of action. Armies of darklings and Rovers continue to plague the Free Lands. Poros Pendyier and the remnants of the Free Rebellion, combined with the mighty of the Dagger Trolls, prepares to stop the evil growing in Morthus. The land of Sadith Oom, forgotten by generations, has become a place of unrest. Armies converge upon the desolate kingdom, for it is here that the end of times will begin. Aron Kryte must destroy the Staff of Life in the fires of Mordrun Hath. Friends will fall. Heroes will rise. The final hour approaches.
