When Jericho's nephew dies, he suspects Karel, the last remaining sorcerer of Terial, to be the cause. Lacking evidence to back up his claim, his accusation only results in Karel becoming a social pariah. Jericho vows to bring justice to his grieving sister - preferably in the form of watching Karel go up in flames. After an ancient sorceress arrives in town, she promises Jericho the revenge and power he seeks - if only he joins her band of misfits on a journey. Swept along with an outcast servant trying to fit in, a young boy with death trapped inside of him, a prince trying to outrun his past, and most ironically with the very person he hates the most, Jericho's fate becomes further intertwined with theirs on a mission where they don't know Retha's end goal. The only thing they are certain of is, by the end of this quest, they will all be very powerful - or very dead.
