Many Heralds and Herald-Mages have died fighting to preserve the peace. Even Vanyel, the most powerful of the Herald-Mages is almost at the end of his strength, in need of a respite from the dual threats of war and dark magic. <p/> But for Vanyel, there can be no rest. Not when his Companion, Yfandes, receives a summons which can't be ignored<i>--</i>a desperate cry of a magical holocaust in the neighboring kingdom. Almost overwhelmed by the devastations they discover there, Herald-Mage and Companion must try to unravel this tragic mystery. <p/> Is the young Prince Tashir, a newly Chosen Herald who can't control his magic, responsible for the destruction?
