Skyhold is under attack once again and this time there is no stopping because powerful mages are coming. The monsters which the mages have under their command are capable to destroy any sort of hindrance that comes in their way. So the people of Skyhold can just watch their land going down in ashes because they can do nothing. Kanderon happens to be a mighty Great Power but the enemies will not stop on this occasion even if Kanderon and his allies use their full power.
John Bierce i.e the author of this series has finally painted a big war that describes complete chaos. After describing this chaotic situation, Ralph Lister narrates about Hugh and his allies who are training in the hidden dungeons and they think that they can stop the upcoming calamity if they are able to complete their training.
Hugh has very little time and he knows that there is a chance that he and his allies fail even after using their complete power. The Lost City of Ithos and A Traitor in Skyhold are waiting for those who will finish this book without any break and will show hunger for more of such stuff.
The author has not wasted a lot of time in describing different conspiracies in this book. John Bierce comes directly to the point and then the war takes over the entire tale. Mighty heroes will fall in this story and legends will be made because surviving such a thing needs a lot of courage. Those who will perish will be forgotten as their names would be wiped out from the face of the world.
