Earth's Blood once thought to be the Dwarves is now revealed in the One Tree; it is everyone's and everything's. And this is what the Necromancer needs to return as within it is the power of hope and despair a prophecy which seems to suggest his mastery of the past the present and the future. Caliphe and Taithe are sucked deeper and deeper into his designs as they travel within the mountains and the great forest of Glimmershade. Terrible truths are revealed to both as they battle Dark Witches rogue Giants Neffelin ancient forestalls and venture into the hidden fortresses of Raven's Loft and Gul-a-Dor. The Effelin Caliphe's race are ruined by their past and this is what they must first undo in overcoming the Necromancer. The past is his. But can they save the present and the future from him? This is the fight they face and to do that they must not only understand their pasts but also come to terms with their futures which seem increasingly bleak. Can they hold onto the love they have for each other in the face of mounting criticism from foes and allies alike?
