There is no peace between gods and mortals. War is about to begin. Chaos rules in Ferantir. Darma, god of order, intends to punish humans by means of an ancient evil. Fate will bring together a group formed of a maniacal thief, a warrior without a homeland, two very different brothers, an archmage lost in the forest, and a foul-mouthed cleric. They will travel the length and breadth of Ferantir in search of a remedy to neutralize the evil.

With few allies and few gods willing to help them, the group faces great dangers... with an unexpected outcome.
