Overview

Cutting a thorn is no good if you do not pull up the root.Elrith and his allies may have shattered Soleena's plans once, but the sorceress is far from defeated.

Meanwhile, Elrith and his companions embark on a desperate quest to stop the sorceress. Their only hope lies in the Element Artifacts-relics said to hold the power to seal the Nexus forever. But as lost histories resurface and uneasy alliances take shape, the lines between friend and foe blur, threatening their mission. In a world where power can be bought with blood, to what lengths will Elrith be willing to go to stop Soleena once and for all? The battle between light and shadow deepens in this spellbinding second installment of the Nexus of Arcanus trilogy. Will courage and unity be enough to stand against the tides of dark magic? Or will Soleena finally attain the dominance she so desires?
