A Cursed Gypsy, A Shapeshifting Dragon, An Empire Ruled by Women. Add the escaped slave of a Dwarven Emporer, refugees from the western kingdom of men, and a war between the kingdoms of men that quickly spreads to Aelfen lands and involves the gods, and you have a drama of epic proportions. The Wraith Riders must face the music as the consequences of their actions affect their loved ones and those they once pledged to protect. With the founder of their order by their side and unlikely allies, they face off against the most powerful army in the north, led by a ruler fueled by anger and bent on vengeance.
