The outcome of many epic wars often hinges on the efforts of unexpected heroes whose details are lost to time and never appear in historical accounts. This is one of those tales. We travel to a monastery called the Luminarium nestled high in the Glimmerstones. The abbey is home to a group of warrior monks. Together with other orders throughout the mountain range, they monitor the mountain passes as a form of early warning system for the kingdoms to the south and east against threats that may arise from the wildlands to the west.  When hook-headed demons attack without warning, slaughtering the abbey's brothers and sisters, early clues suggest the use of magic well beyond the capabilities of Venn’s contemporary masters. The two surviving monks join forces with some old friends and new allies to determine the perpetrator and their end game. What they discover is a potentially apocalyptic future.
