From the eastern steppes rides Loethar, a ruthless warlord who has united the barbarian tribes into an unstoppable tide. Kingdom after kingdom has fallen before him. Now only one realm stands unconquered: Penraven, the greatest kingdom of the Denova Set. Loethar seeks more than wealth or conquest. He covets the Valisar Enchantment – a legendary power of coercion bound to Penraven’s royal bloodline. When the last Valisar dies, that power will be his, and no force will remain to oppose him.
