The magocracy of Shal'Tashar has known unbroken peace for nearly five hundred years thanks to its seemingly benevolent rulers, the Quintarchs of the Four Temples.With the power to manipulate minds, bend space and alter the flow of time itself, the Quintarchs have little to fear except the machinations of their fellow mages, and secrets they had thought long buried.

Now, at the zenith of their power, the rule of the Quintarchs and all of Shal'Tashar is threatened by the discovery of an ancient treaty signed in blood and magic, and a conspiracy led by men wielding strange powers not seen in almost half a millennium.

Old debts demand payment, a betrayal demands retribution, and a forgotten prophecy demands to be fulfilled.
