With the defeat of the Gods' King, Crystania settles into peace, but like a shallow sleep, this peace barely calms the forces churning beneath it. Pirotesse is haunted, hearing the cries of Ashram everywhere. Redon marches off in search of the imprisoned priestess, Aderishia, but halfway to the mythic Cave of the Sealed, he learns the impossible - the seals are coming undone! All of Crystania's bad dreams may soon surface: tornadoes, basilisks, Dragon Lords and quite possibly the evil Gods' King, Barbas himself. Will a hard-fought peace be lost so soon?
