When old scars open-wounds that never truly healed-can Kole find the courage to stand against the deepest fear he's ever known?

In Kole's quest to reunite all six gods, he's led to a distant city where magic and technology have merged and proven as a combatant against the spread of the Black Wall. Yet the god he seeks lies beyond the border of the black wall of fire encroaching on the continent.

Kole plans to use this new-found technology to aid in his search, but when equipment begins to mysteriously malfunction, he suspects foul play. He must uncover and eliminate the perpetrator if he hopes to save Ohr, but a part of him wants it broken, or he'll have to face the very entity which left him maimed.
