The War of the Lion has ended, and peace has been forged in the name of the flawed, feared, yet revered Lord Cedric Binosear. However, the haunting words of the vanquished Master of the Shadows, Shau-ling, reveal an ominous portent of a return to war. Prophecy finds its way onto the shoulders of Logan Ranthall, a would-be adventurer who wants only to prove himself in the eyes of the woman that he loves. Surrounded by his childhood friends and under the guidance of a grizzled veteran warrior, Logan sets out on the path thrust into being by malicious fate and malignant prophecy. Along the way, Logan stumbles upon shady politics, villains of pure and irredeemable evil, and comes face to face with secrets that will shake the very foundation of everything he has come to believe. But in the darkness a different breed of conflict grinds on; the politics of power and self-interest that threaten to envelop the world into eternal darkness. Delve into the mysteries of the war between light and darkness and the prophecies of the Coromor, in the first chapter of The Quietus of Fate: World's Shadow.
