A forgotten prophecy, a reading of the fates, and an ancient enemy bring together a group of unlikely companions as the days of darkness draw near. The world has forgotten its history; the confusion of war has clouded the past by new histories written by the victors. The word Avalan has become synonymous with legend, a word used in tales around winter fires. But all legends have an origin of truth and some things should never be forgotten. Now the days of the wolf have come, swathed in the banners of war he will stalk the legends of gods on a battlefield of ruin as an evil once believed to be myth returns to seek vengeance against the Avalan that wronged them, but the Avalan are extinct and only the bannered wolf stands in their way. The fate of nations rests in his hands, but the fate of mankind rests with another.
