"As the final battle approaches a sellsword, a spy, and a general must find unlikely and dangerous allies in order to turn the tides of war in this epic fantasy tale of magic and gunpowder by acclaimed author Brian McClellan"-- The Landfall Godstone has been unlocked, and Michel Bravis is tasked with returning to Greenfire Depths to do whatever he can to prevent the Dynize from using its power. Ben Styke's invasion of Dynize is curtailed when a storm scatters his fleet. Coming ashore with just twenty lancers, he is forced to rely on brains rather than brawn. Bereft of her sorcery and physically and emotionally broken, Lady Vlora Flint marches on Landfall at the head of an Adran army seeking vengeance against those who have conspired against her. -- adapted from jacket Provided by publisher.
