As this age-old defence frays, Davian, a young Augur, and his allies find themselves racing north to stave off a looming catastrophe. With the recent amnesty granted to the Augurs, there is hope for unity against the rising shadows, yet the challenges that Davian encounters along his journey suggest that time is running painfully short.

As old alliances are tested and new enemies emerge, understanding the truth of his identity becomes a matter of survival.
