It is a time of vast changes in the island nation of
Sileria. Oppressed by foreign conquerors for centuries,
this land of fierce pride and ancient rivalries awaited
the prophesied Firebringer who would free them. Josarian,
a mountain peasant, survived his leap into the volcano to
become the Firebringer. He united the impoverished
shallaheen, the magical fire-wielding Guardians, and the
vastly powerful mages known as waterlords in an
unprecedented alliance that defeated the foreign Valdani
who had ruled Sileria for too long. But now Josarian is
dead, betrayed by his allies and slain by the White Dragon
of Kiloran, the most powerful waterlord in Sileria.
Tansen, Josarian's second-in-command, has taken up the
banner of independence and leads the shallaheen and the
Guardians against the waterlords so that Sileria can be
free of a tyranny far worse than Valdani rule. As the
volcano goddess Dar rumbles her displeasure in earthquakes
and lava flows, the forces of fate, prophecy, and magic
combine to create new heroes - from the desolate
mountains, from the water-starved cities, from the sea,
and even from beneath the earth. Ancient forces join with
unlikely allies to fulfill the prophecies that inspire
revolt and excite religious fervor. But in Sileria,
betrayal has long been a way of life, and it wears many
faces as the ambitions of the high and the low ensnare the
fates of people across the land, wreaking havoc among the
faithful.
