Scree has been destroyed; wiped from the face of the Land in a brutal demonstration of intent, but even before the fires have gone out, the stakes are raised to the heavens. Now the Gods themselves have entered the fray.

Returning home to a nation divided by fanaticism, Isak is haunted both by the consequences of his actions in Scree and visions of impending death, while the newly-militant priesthoods scream for blood. As a white-eye, Isak knows he must embrace the darkness inside him or be consumed by it. Now, as the nation teeters on the brink of collapse, Isak realises the fanatics must be embraced while his personal demons offer a chance to take the fight to the enemy. One chance to escape the prophecies and plots that shackle him, but at a horrifying cost.

With the battle lines vague and allegiances uncertain, now is the time for heartless decisions and ruthless action. Two figures oppose Isak and his allies: the greatest warrior in history who dreams of empire and Godhood, and a newborn baby whose dreams have no limit.
