After the assault on Fatrasta and the capital city Landfall, countless displaced individuals seek refuge with Lady Flint's army as she readies herself to stop the Gods from returning to their world.
Within Landfall, Michel Bravis, a spy working for Blackhat, covertly enters the ranks of the invading Dynize forces to find an important individual named Mara—an assignment vital for shifting the balance of the conflict.
