When the sun rises in Rome the world wakes...The exiled and rebellious children of Roman Emperors Constantine, Licinius and Galerius have banded together to escaped their sins and circumstances. Despite their best attempts, they find themselves facing yet another impossible quest not of their choosing, and perils wait around every corner. This time, they traverse the open seas where terror and watery death are the rule of the day, and safety is an imagined joy in dark and unwelcoming places. A long night of secrets and shame begins...

As their 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 the final book of Brian McClellan's epic fantasy trilogy. The Dynize have unlocked the Landfall Godstone, and Michel Bravis is tasked with returning to Greenfire Depths to do whatever he can to prevent them from using its power; from sewing dissension among the enemy ranks to rallying the Palo population. 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 -- gaining new allies in a strange land on the cusp of its own internal violence. Bereft of her sorcery and physically and emotionally broken, Lady Vlora Flint now marches on Landfall at the head of an Adran army seeking vengeance against those who have conspired against her. While allied politicians seek to undo her from within, she faces insurmountable odds and Dynize's greatest general.
