The vengeful gods of Kayumalon are at war.
The king is indisposed. Invaders have breached the northern borders. Kayumalon is ripe for the taking.
Kalem, the earth mage bound to a promise made to his dead father, finds himself the new ruler of a fallen kingdom. Now, he is forced to lead a weakened country against an army of gods, determined to uphold the duty that destiny had charged him with even if he loses his life for it.
Yin, the wind mage loyal only to her own heart, is forced to choose between love and bloodlust when her lover is bound by duty to her greatest enemy.
Dakila, a mortal man desperate to protect his love, leads the last stand of Kayumalon while they wait, probably in vain, for the forgotten gods to come to their rescue.
JinWun, the fire mage hungry for vengeance, betrays her queen and defects to the enemy, using and abusing every advantage and every tool at her disposal even if they’re not hers. After a lifetime of pain and subjugation, she would fight not for love, not for duty, but only for her fiery fury. Amid the chaos of war, the people of Kayumalon will be forced to choose loyalties and to ultimately answer the question: What is duty if it’s not born from love?
