The Tallikon Empire is under new rulership. Varkand, the Blind Prophet of the heretical Storm Creed sect, had the Emperor assassinated and claimed the throne for himself, and when the Imperial Order of Mages declared their intent to stand against him, he had them purged. As the last scion of the legendary Order hero Atrim Earthrender, the young apprentice Jonas was expected to be a light of hope for the Order. Instead, he ran away. Ten years later, Jonas has put the purge of the Order behind him, and begun working as an enforcer for a mob boss in the port city of Alemu, but he is torn between his new life and his old one when a mysterious figure known as He Who Treads the Darkness begins urging him to use his magic to resist Varkand again. Varkand's hold on his throne is tenuous - he is crippled by the rituals he uses to extend his life, dealing with plots amongst his nobles, and devoting more and more of his time to the search for immortality, as he knows his time is growing short. With rumors of Empress-in-Exile Talandra Nehriss returning to claim the throne for her dynasty and a new Order forming in the deserts of Herlas, he fears all his work may have been for nothing. He is sustained only by one goal... and that goal is Jonas, with his mysterious ability to access the Banished Way of resurrecting the dead. Nobody can be sure what the fate of the Tallikon Empire will be. What they know is that it will soon be swept up in a great war, and its lands will be cleansed in fire...

Humanity has long believed that it was the highest order of life on Earth, the pinnacle of evolution. We were wrong. There are others who covet the crown, and they aren't pleased with what we've done to the planet. Pollution and overpopulation have left our world crippled and spiraling towards utter destruction. To many among the preternatural species, mankind is a disease that must be remedied if anyone is to survive the next step. Kagan, tyrant of the vampire cabal and his ally the mongrel father Ahmu, have raised an army. Fueled by hate and a mysterious stimulant simply known as "juice", they will cut a swath through human civilization. The cabal is not without enemies, however. There are allies among the others, those who will strive for the betterment of all. An ancient empress and her most loyal general will lead the charge to save us all. Humanity itself is not totally defenseless. The Angelista Corporation has been expecting this day for quite some time. Preparations have just been completed for the most advanced weapons system ever devised by man. All they need now is the right candidate, and they just found one. But will their invention be enough to protect them from a fanatical cult of elemental channels? It's an adrenaline soaked thrill ride through a world of overwhelming darkness. Alliances will be struck, millennia old feuds will be reignited, and blood will be spilled in all corners of the globe. The end is nigh, The Purging War has begun.
