A battle has been won, but the war is far from over... Fweren stands. The Monarchs that threatened to destroy them are dead, slain with the aid of unexpected allies. But the war still rages on, and it only grows more tenuous for the Camarre as the Warlord’s heirs take to the battlefield. The Gates call for their keeper... Three Gates remain to be opened. With his power restored at last, Allakoi must travel south to the land he had once planned to call home. But the way is filled with danger, and his quest will take him into the forgotten depths of the world. The Mirror fractures... In the north, another battle is being waged. And should the wrong party lose, all will be for naught. The Shattered Pulse continues in The Song of Broken Mirrors . **
