Now that the immediate threat of the war is settled, Resin must face the truth. The Shadow Kings who led the Wold before him have turned their eyes from the Wold's real problems for too long. The Factions are angry, and with good reason. Their needs have gone unanswered for generations and they are no longer willing to accept a ruler. Together, Resin and Snow will have to restore the trust their ancestors destroyed, and face down an enemy that wants nothing more than to destroy them both.
