The Crovan Empire stood for hundreds of years. It and its sister nation, Nova, defied the order of the gods, devoting their allegiance to the Source, The Great Wind. For more than a hundred years, un-called to be conquerors and favoring rightness over power, their intimidating existence forced the world into an era of peace. But that peace did not live forever as the next great pantheon struck out in conquest. Crova and Nova have fallen after a fierce war that cost countless lives and their enemies are stronger than ever, ready to wash over the entire world. Crova's last king, Ryn, a man of learning and depth, an arvaita, who was forced to become a king of war, is imprisoned in the underworld. His queen captive, his people all but annihilated and scattered, he questions everything. But in the darkest moment, he is called out by the Source. An arvaita works in many elements, and Ryn is called to do something the world does not know, to take this mission and share it with those, not of his kind. Ryn is to gather allies, bring old foes together, and stand against this tide of oppression before it wipes the righteous from the earth. What he does not know is that who he is, broken and defeated, is exactly what the Source intends to use to rescue humanity from one of its first curses brought about by the very existence of the Nephilim. With Crova and Nova defeated, the order of blood born and blood spilled seemed to triumph forever. But what is coming will begin to change the understanding of all creatures, both human, star, and nephilim alike.
