In the third installment of this haunting series talkative dark elf cleric Taliesin finds himself flung across the planes with his companions. Accidentally pulled through a portal, he enters a land of danger and intrigue far different than anything he's ever seen. All he wants is to find a way back home. But that is complicated by the tantalizing promise of answers. Answers to the very question he ran away from home for. Taliesin must navigate dubious alliances, slave auctions, and blood rituals on his quest. And with each new challenge vanquished he becomes a more capable spellcaster than he's ever been. But for the young and impulsive dark elf, there is no personal risk too great for what he wants. And now he must weigh the cost of answers against the danger to those he cares for most, as well as to his own soul.
