Several years have now passed since the selfless heroism of Marek and the Redthorns saved the world. The Necromancer Szorlok was defeated, but the price of victory was high: the gods were slain, the population decimated, the country left in ruins, and, most memorable and heart-rending of all, some of the Redthorns sacrificed their lives in order to triumph over evil. It’s out of those ashes that our new story is born... A growing threat. The heirs to a legacy of evil coming into their own. And most importantly, unlikely heroes, both old and new, fated to rise from the ruins and face them.
