Cray has fallen into darkness once again as a swarm of mysterious creatures called the Hissera rampage through the four Enchanter Keeps. The Hisseras' creator, a necromancer called Kaynah of Shale, means to exterminate all enchanters from Cray. This means that Jes and the leaders of each Keep must put aside their differences and work together in order to stop Kaynah of Shale and save enchanter kind. But doubts linger in everyone about Jes' resolve. Will he rise to expectation, or will he fall to the curse of the necromancer?
