The Realms face annihilation, and their greatest defender has gone missing. When Gryph is torn from the Realms by the Light, an ancient secret society sworn to end the threat of the High God, he has one mission: get back, at any cost.
The Light offers Gryph a quest: help them resurrect the Source, and together they can free all the peoples of the Realms. But things are not what they seem, and Gryph soon discovers that even in the Light, shadows fester. Shadows that could doom the Realms to eternal darkness. The Light promises salvation. But who's going to save the Realms from the Light?
