Twenty years after his imprisonment, the ancient sorcerer Kronnor escapes to recover the Kratar, a wish-granting artifact, and rebuild his empire. But the Kratar is on a parallel Earth, in the hands of Marek—a young man who unknowingly wields the power of the Zars. As Marek learns he was created to be Kronnor's weapon, he must choose between revenge and forgiveness, power and humanity. The greatest battle is not against the sorcerer, but against the darkness within himself.
