Can evil ever really be destroyed? Or does it lie dormant, awaiting its next victim? Evil is patient, and with promises of power unmatched, can any mortal resist its seduction?
After a frigid wind interrupts an otherwise hot summer day, the dead crawl from their graves, thirsting for blood. Merssa Goldmace, the first woman to ever achieve the title Paladin Knight, is tasked with the most important mission the High Order has ever bestowed upon her: discover the source behind this dark occurrence. Her entire life seemed to be meant for this moment; her faith and sense of duty were unshakeable . . . or so she thought.
Merssa leads her company on the path of the Wind of the Dead, but they soon discover there are far worse things than mere zombies. An ancient magic, evil to its core, has surfaced, and its sole purpose is to corrupt all of Vaeldor. Merssa's beliefs are challenged, and she must determine who she can truly trust as she balances all she thought was important in her life with the fate of the world.
Will Merssa find the strength to stand against the One that Evil brings before every kingdom falls?
