Exiled and with little to guide him but the mysterious prophecies of the Tindaya Code, Terrel travels ever onwards, hoping that each step will take him closer to his homeland of Vadanis. Now Terrel finds himself in the war-torn land of Myvatan, where no one can remember a time before conflict, and no one but the sorcerers know the cause of it. Horrified to learn that the powers of nature are being harnessed for use as weapons, Terrel discovers that a volcano among the glaciers is home to a deadly presence. And this time, even Terrel’s power may not be enough to stop it.
