The final battle over the Darkwater has begun. Will anything be able to stop the evil sweeping across
the north?
The kings and queens of the northern continent lay siege to the Darkwater Forest, frantic to contain its evil. But
rumors of gold and aurium have lured deserters and the reckless into its shadow, creating a growing army that can
see in the dark and fight like the gifted. Desperate after the death and dissolution of their greatest ally, Willet and the
rest of the Vigil seek the truth of what lies at the heart of the evil they face. They delve the mind of an ancient enemy
and find an answer far worse and more unimaginable than they had feared.
But while they seek to understand their past and peril, danger stalks the cities of the north, striking at the rulers
of the kingdoms. As Willet and the rest of the Vigil search for answers, the Vigil is scattered with an ever-growing
darkness around them. They must discover a path to keep their land safe or risk losing the world.
