A world of technological advances hidden beneath a medieval veneer, Avalon enjoyed a truce between the rival Heron and Raven Dynasties for centuries. That uneasy peace, however, was shattered accidentally by Ethan, youngest of the Heron princes. Inevitably, full-scale war erupted.

Swearing vengeance, Ethan has set out on a journey that leads to the very heart of Raven power, and a battle with Bron that will leave only one man standing.
