For the legend to rise,
the hero must fall.
Beaten and left for dead, Tomas and Elzeth stumble across the prairie as the church prepares their final assault against the sagani. Tomas knows his time is drawing to a close. Soon, he must pay the bill for all the strength he's used over the years.
He and Elzeth decide to spend their last days peacefully seeking answers to the questions that have long plagued them. What are the nexuses, and how are the sagani connected to them?
But when they discover the true nature of the church's intent, Tomas and his allies must once more rise to defend the frontier. It isn't just the sagani in danger, and all that stands between their world and certain doom is an old pair of friends, ready to fight their final battle.
