mages face the growing threat of the Shadows...
As Elric and his student Galen watch with taut anticipation, dragons, angels, and shooting stars rain from the sky, heralding the arrival of the techno-mages on planet Soom. It's the first time Elric - a member of the ruling Circle - has hosted such a gathering, and if all goes well, Galen and the other apprentices will emerge triumphant from the grueling initiation rites, ready to embrace their roles as full mages among the most powerful beings in the known universe.
But rumors fly of approaching danger, and Galen and his young lover, Isabelle, are chosen to investigate the dark tidings. An ancient race has awakened after a thousand years, thirsty of war, slaughter, and annihilation. Will the techno-mages be the deciding factor in the war ahead? Or the first casualties?
