Beyonders, evil beings
that materialize without warning from the realm of chaos, continue to
invade the world of men, destroying everything - and everyone - in
their path. The most powerful of them all, Ritol, has been confined for
two hundred years inside the palace in Thendylath, trapped by King
Arek's magic.
Having newly claimed the right to rule Thendylath
as king, Gavin Kinshield has no money or army, but he's determined to
protect his people from the beyonder attacks. With his new power of
Wayfarer, Gavin has the ability to journey to all seven realms. To end
the invasion, he must travel to the realm of chaos and summon Ritol. But can he escape before the beyonder champion kills him, devours his soul
and takes his place as Wayfarer?
If wizard Brodas Ravenkind has
his way, Gavin will never make it that far. Not only does Ravenkind want the throne for himself, he wants revenge for his cousin's murder too.
After all, he made a promise the first time Gavin crossed him.
