It is a time of prophecies fulfilled, as a mysterious being with
terrifying powers comes forth from an inferno to unite the
warring barbarian tribes of the North against the Three
Kingdoms: Tamur, Kesh and Ust-Galich. Hope for the
Kingdoms lies in the birth of Kedryn Caitin, whom the Holy
Sisterhood of Kyrie believe to be the champion whose
coming is foretold in their sacred book. But Taws also
knows of the boy's existence, and as his armies cut a bloody
swath across the peaceful land , Kedryn and his kin come
ever nearer his merciless grasp...

The Second book of the Kingdoms:
THE USURPER
THE BATTLE WAS OVER. KEDRYN CAITIN HAD LED
THE THREE KINGDOMS TO VICTORY OVER THE
BARABRIAN HORDES. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A
TIME OF PEACY….
But Taws was not defeated. He who was spawned in the cold
fires of Ashar swore vengeance that with his dark sorceries
the Three Kingdoms would fall.
As for Kedryn, the Chosen prophesied in the sacred book of
the Sisterhood, he was blind. His sight had been stolen by a
bewitched sword. He must seek the shamans of the
Barbarians. Only with their help cold he enter the
netherworld to confront the shade of the warrior who in life
had wielded the blade.
While Kedryn travelled far, accompanied only by his loyal
friend and a holy Sister, Taws the Messenger saw his
opportunity. With the Chosen absent, he would use his
terrifying magicks to gain the throne of the Kingdoms by one
dark means or another…
