Having failed in their attempts at preventing the Kingdom from slipping into civil war after the assassination of King Nathanial, the Agents of the King struggle on, hoping to minimize the damage and keep the worst of the throne’s claimants from gaining control over the Kingdom. The corrupted heart of the Church rears its menacing head, the Order of Mystics reveals plans both cunning and terrible, aiming for nothing less than the death of one of the most powerful Witches not aligned to their cause, and the House of Mourngrym, already the strongest with the seemingly unstoppable Army of Kane at their command, seek to further their power by forging unholy alliances.

And yet, above even the greatest of these, there is another, who hides himself in darkness for now, waiting for the moment of the Kingdom’s greatest weakness to strike….Against such a backdrop of danger, our heroes find themselves in increasingly dire straits, and the web of danger that surrounds them continues to grow.

The races of man in the Basin rise up and attempt to stand
against the Dark One, but can they set aside their many differences long enough to carry the day, or will bickering and infighting lead to their ultimate undoing? And who among our heroic figures will be standing at the end, when the final showdown commences? Who will fall along the way?

Plunge into the story to find out!

Before there was a Reckoning…before there was The War of Succession that ripped the soul from the land and bled the populace of the Basin for five long years, there were two centuries worth of history that traced the Kingdom’s rise from the ashes of the Old Empire. From the humblest beginning imaginable, a band of frightened refugees forged a new Kingdom from their own blood and sweat, and endured hardships nearly too numerous to name in the pursuit of the idea of building a good and just Kingdom. A place they were proud to call home.

Between the Flight and the Founding of their Kingdom, and the start of the War of Succession, there are stories.

Histories.

Legends.

Over two hundred years ago, in the secluded mountainous region of North Carolina, a savage attack by angry colonists left a Cherokee Indian named Jehote dead… but his desire for Retribution did not die. It lived on, and waited.

Nearby Hendersonville, North Carolina is a peaceful town. Residents Patricia Aiken and Kevin Aiken feel blessed to have a gifted and talented son like Daniel. But Daniel is also prone to strange feelings of foreboding… and when Daniel and his friends go camping with a friend of the Aikens, they mysteriously disappear.

As a search is launched for the missing campers, Patricia and Kevin, along with sheriff John Bramble, a mixed-blood Cherokee, must seek out the truth behind the disappearance of the camping group. But to do so they must come face to face with a centuries old curse.

On a long forgotten battleground, in a quite valley sheltered by a lonely mountain, they would encounter an evil that would test the limits of their faith, resolve, courage, and love…

Her best hope for survival rests on the sturdy shoulders of Stephen Kane, a protector unlike any other. But even his unique abilities may not be enough to defeat a creature as old as history. Their struggle will carry them from the sleepy heart of South Carolina to the trackless Louisiana Bayous, and will test them and their limits as nothing ever has before.
