Since the dawn of time, evil spirits have ruled the world of Taeron, posing as gods. But their reign of terror is ending. The Name of the Word has long since won the war. Now the fallen rage as their grip on Taeron is soon to be broken.

Together with three mortals, he guides the children of the village through the night, desperate to escape the flames now consuming their homes.
