An ancient volcano awakens, spewing a terrifying adversary from its fiery depths. And from the ancient bastion of Trelebor to the burning sands of Jafeh, chaos explodes. The fragile kingdoms of Vinkalla struggle in the aftermath of the High King's death and the ascension of the new one: Marcellus Admorran, the Champion of Kaerleon and recent conqueror of the Forbidden City. But not all are ready to embrace their new monarch.
While some factions scheme and others form alliances, dark new threats arrive to test the fractured kingdoms. In this tale, a headstrong young princess faces a powerful, manipulative mage in her desert palace. In Kaerleon, newly anointed Queen Nyori faces the dangers of life in court while a secret sect plots to bring her rulership to a premature end. In the frosty mountains of Norland, Han, Rhanu, and Ayna face a foe so powerful that their combined powers may not be enough to stop. And from across the Dragonspine, the armies of Valdemar Basilis arrive to plunge the kingdoms of Vinkalla into ruin and war.
Against a backdrop of conspiracy and ambition, epic battles and romance, the players are arranged in a lethal game that will push them to their very limits . . . and beyond. For when realms shatter, the entire land feels the aftershocks.
Talan is a homeless boy who lives by his speed and wits, but what he wants more than anything is to get into the mythical City of Glass.
But once inside, he learns that beauty can be deceiving. He will learn lessons of pain, hatred, love, and leadership before he can free himself and the other lost children from their glittering prison.
This is the short story that debuts the world of Shadow Battles and introduces one of the major characters.
