The Foglins are gaining strength. They are breaking the lines of the Vaporgaardians. They are coming for men, women, and children in the night. Raath isn't safe anymore.
At least that's what the whispers say. But whispers are dangerous if ignored for too long. Fortunately, there are always heroes.
The world of Raath is a magical place where good deeds grant you magical power, and in times of great crisis five Chosen mages arise, each one representing a different face of the God that powers them all.
The Protector: Wren Hartfield is an abused farm girl who longs to see what lies beyond her family's fields. But when she gets a chance to go on that journey she finds that the world around her is anything but a safe escape.
The Devotee: Domma is a Cleric of the Sunburst Temple whose past is hazy. When one of the mental patients under her care is murdered, she begins to unravel the mystery - and herself as well.
The Monk: In self-inflicted exile, Otom Aldenburg is a man of few words. When his Monastery is destroyed by marauding Foglins, he is forced to retrace the painful steps and memories of his past.
The Servitor: Krothair Mallurin is a boy too young and naive to be a Kingsguardian, but too driven to be stopped. When he finds himself apprenticed to a legendary sword master he has to make a choice - stay, learn, and suffer, or return to his life as an orphan.
The Benefactor: Halimaldie D'Arvenant is a powerful businessman at the head of a merchant empire. As he opens his eyes to the magic around him, he must admit something very difficult to himself - that he's been wrong about everything.
Five mages, five faces of God, five stories . . . one fate.
