Awake a Sleeping God

For thirteen centuries since the Entombment the dark god has slept. Now he is beginning to awaken and his dream is spreading across the world, sowing chaos and death. Yet some will rise to stand against him in the moment of his rebirth.
In the kingdom of Illrycharra the boy Saul is plagued by nightmares and living horrors that drive him from everything he knows. On the road he is joined by a disparate group of companions; a mysterious lady of great power, a Crandorian swordsman, a Nestorian maiden and an old monk among others. They set out on a perilous quest, journeying through a land devastated by war and into the Dwarven Mountains where dark forces wait to destroy them.

In the Elven mountain city of Elrurith, Cuhullin, daughter of the Surlord struggles to escape her inevitable doom, while at Lar Riocht the great jungle kingdom, Prince Lluthuilin confronts a growing darkness within his soul. In the city of Ystwryth, the pre-eminent power of the Dwarven Highlands, the struggle between Owain, the High-King's most trusted friend and Manawydan, the High-King's brutal and power-hungry son, is coming to a head. As the Highlands becomes embroiled in a bloody civil war the persecuted vala, Dwarven female users of the power, come under the notice of the godar witch-finders once more.

As the dark god's dream spreads across the lands of the Elves, Dwarves and Man a shadow is growing in the north. The Orlockan nations, the greatest of the Sakhm'Yvar, are once more flocking to their sleeping god's banner. After thirteen centuries the deluge is coming.
