Branded a traitor by her people, Shea and her warlord-the fiercely dangerous Fallon-travel to the Pathfinders’ chair of power at her father’s demand, hoping to form an alliance regardless of the distrust between them. It generally does not take a long time before Shea and Fallon understand something is dangerously incorrect in the area she once called home. Ancient, deadly creatures-gone for hundreds of years, once again walk the lands, awakened from a deep rest. Worse, it seems the Pathfinders are keeping a secret-one that could destroy them all.

In the brink of battle with each other, the Pathfinders and Trateri must get together if they hope to defeat the evil in the centre from the Badlands. As the tension rises between your two peoples, and Shea and her family, Shea and Fallon must convince them to get over their differences if they’re to overcome impossible odds. Because the beasts may be the least of their concerns. Sometimes betrayal comes from within, as well as the most harmful monsters may be those closest to them.
