After the fall of the city of Haven, Kellen Wayfield is called upon by the Healers to save Darkwell. He brings Deagan Wingrat with him to try and cause a huge enemy horde to attack another city instead of his beloved Darkwell. The witches have a supernatural hold over Kellen and Deagan, so that if they disobey they can be tortured by magic. They come across many misadventures along the way, and in the end find themselves in the midst of the enemy war host. One of them a prisoner, the other a general. A Gigant seeks redemption after exile, and the book ends with impending battle on the horizon.
"Kellen Wayfield is no hero. When old debts finally catch up with him, he’s forced to become one, or die. The long time swindler would rather disappear into the shadows of Darkwell and hatch his next con, but instead he must strike out into the unknown with his old friend, Deagan Wingrat. Entrapped into similar obligations, Deagan leaves his simple life to lend his sword and shield to Kellen’s cause. With his knighthood stripped away, he risks everything to protect the city that cast him aside.
Devenkai’s forces encroach on human lands with the inevitability of nightfall. With two cities remaining, only a man without honor has the power to choose: which one shall he feed to Devenkai first?
