An empire crumbling, an invasion mounting, three cultures collide as the FireNight Prophecies continue. Princess Nola and friends find their way to the Southern Isles to come face to face with the Great Sea Lord Mica. Their fated meeting draws short as the Fire Empire has plans of its own. Across the ocean, the Sisterhood continues its hidden agenda. They hedge their bets on both sides of the war, seeking a different goal altogether. They continue to play both the Empire and the Northern Alliance against each other. Meanwhile, the Middle Desert continues to grow, forcing drastic changes for any caught in its ever-expanding reach. Doewa weakens as Eafel grows stronger. The battle lines of life and death play out as the cards begin to fall, with each player holding back their trump cards for the final play. The Battle of the Dark, even now, edges closer with no time to reshuffle the deck. Time allows for no do-overs.
