Do not speak their names. They are listening. And they always come.
The world was taught to believe the Mages were extinct, burned to nothing after a war that nearly erased existence itself. Their names were stripped from history, their legacy buried in silence. Not as a myth, but protection. The Mages have returned to Qandroll, awakened and unforgiving. Their vengeance sends fear rippling through the realm as the sacred shield guarding the Sons of Adam begins to fracture. With extinction looming, the Academy faces an impossible choice: summon the ancient clans... or prepare for the end of everything they were built to protect.
But war is only the surface threat. As armies gather, a darker corruption spreads from within. Disgraced Lord Radhol and the vengeful Godin move through the chaos with purpose, drawn to the Vault-an ancient relic of forbidden power sealed away to keep the world intact. If it is claimed, no kingdom, oath, or boundary will survive its awakening.
Caught between an invading force of legendary Mages and a rising tide of ancient evil, Alex is forced beyond the comfort of steel and strategy. To save Qandroll, he must confront the one legacy more dangerous than any enemy: his bloodline.
A truth lies buried there.
One powerful enough to end the war...
or burn the world to ashes.
The battle for the Vault has begun.
Destiny is no longer a choice.
It is a death sentence.
