Only one can save us . . . but he’s been dead for eight hundred years.
The prophet Bimear Sasharr has just foreseen the destruction of his homeland—and the Great Mage who could save his people is dead. Only Sasharr can resurrect the Great Mage but, to do so, he’ll have to locate and decipher the mage’s ancient Quill.
An undefeated conqueror is storming across the Uncrossable Ocean to colonize their lands for the glory of his king and the salvation of his soul. If he finds the Quill first, nothing can stand in his way.
Now Sasharr must undertake a gruelling quest to retrieve the lost artifact—all while battling his own psychic gifts—to resurrect the greatest power the world has ever known.
