It is almost time. Katja has prevailed against warriors, curses, demons and revenants and is nearly fully trained as a Redcloak. She and her mentor Serdra have bloodied the Brotherhood of the Pit multiple times, and thwarted their grabs for power. But now a new leader has risen within the secret order. One with a personal grudge against Katja, the terrible might of the sorcerers of yore, and no patience for the subtle games of the Silent War. Katja and Serdra get separated, as an invading army bolstered by the Brotherhood's demonic sorcery marches on a city, bent on conquest. At last, to her great excitement and dread, Katja must stand on her own in the city's defence. The Brotherhood has brought back the old wars of magic and monsters, and so Katja must embrace her people's old role as legendary champions. Beyond a storm of steel, blood and fire lies the purpose and glory Katja has longed for. And near-certain death.
