The Key to the Crypt of Souls has been stolen in Andolith, leaving a Sorcerer grievously wounded and possessed by a Forbidden Skill. The only one who can save her faces execution in Tabor. Now vital questions must be answered to stop Rudon in his quest for power: who are the Lefollah? who is Stolen and where did he come from? and who...and what...are the Sorcerers themselves? A voice from the past may provide an answer, but terrible sacrifices must be made. Can the secrets of the forest provide some solace in the end?
