In the shadow of ruin, hope makes its final stand.

With their beloved city of Ronia assailed by the terrifying Shining Realm, Shada and her company of soldiers represent their people's last hope for salvation. Their mission: to find the vanished goddess who can turn the battle Ronia's way.

But nothing Shada has experienced-not her life of hardship or her previous adventures-could have prepared her for the unearthly realm where her journey will end.

It is a place of spectral adversaries and monsters of legend, of phantoms and nightmares made flesh. Here, with the fate of her city in the balance, Shada enters her final confrontation with the Lady, an enemy who seeks domination over not just her life, but her soul. Victory could fulfill her deepest dreams, but in defeat lies a fate darker than oblivion.
