However, the case of Madge Oberholtzer would change that forever.Madge was a young, white, middle-class Indiana resident who worked for D.C.

Doch als die Mission tragisch scheitert, geraten der Hochelfen-Magier Xamus Frood und seine Gruppe hartgesottener Söldner mit den Behörden von Rechtbrand in Konflikt. Auf ihrer verzweifelten Flucht finden diese zerlumpten Gesetzlosen unerwartete Verbündete in Form eines trinkfreudigen Zwergs und eines eitlen menschlichen Barden. Dem Gesetz immer nur einen winzigen Schritt voraus und gejagt von einer geheimnisvollen Vampirorganisation nehmen sie den Kampf gegen die Kinder der Sonne auf, einem mächtigen neuen Kult, der Rechtbrands herrschende Kirche zu stürzen und die Handelsstädte durch Feuer zu reinigen sucht. Sie ahnen nicht, dass ein Weg voller persönlicher Opfer und schicksalhafter Begegnungen vor ihnen liegt. Am Ende ihrer Reise lauert der Konflikt mit einem urtümlichen Wesen, das zugleich am Anfang wie am Ende der Schöpfung steht ...
