Dark fire

No fire burns within the valley of ghosts, neither dark nor bright. There are only ashes, growing cold. What will it take to rake within this hollow dust, to find the fading echo of a spark? Who is there to blow it into flame?

On the island of Zalys, where ghosts move freely but the living are subject to the brutal tyranny of the corrupt Xantic Empire, the more determined minds are turning to thoughts of revolution. But they know that there will be a heavy price to pay for freedom, Before it can be won, Dsordas, Fen and their allies must face not only the might of the imperial garrison but also the depraved sorcery of Marshal Farrag.

Bravery and cunning may not be enough against such a foe, and the islanders realize that they must fight magic with magic. But does arcane power still exist on Zalys? And if it does, who will have the strength to bring it back to life?
