Four hundred years ago, humankind was slave to a race of ancient beings, but they won their freedom in a short but bloody conflict. The leader of that rebellion, Khan, went on to found a brotherhood of men who would keep the watch and defend humankind’s freedom. Centuries have passed and now the Brotherhood of Khan is viewed with suspicion by those very men and women who are protected by it, its image damaged by abuses and zeal.
After centuries of nurturing their wounds, the Vhaells, named Fey by the humans, are on the move again. Some of them seek to restore their kind to their former glory, but not all and those who see disaster waiting to strike a third time have plans of their own.
Marac lives in the street, performing odd jobs now and then for anyone who can pay. His new employer is not like anyone who ever hired him before though and the Khanites on the man’s tracks may well be after him too.
Soren has just graduated as a first lieutenant in the Brotherhood, the first noble to ever do so. He is impatient to tackle his first assignment, but not everything is as it seems as he is put on the case of a dangerous heretic who may be plotting with the Fey.

Now she must not only survive, but attempt to warn others that her cult might be the target of their centuries old enemies and it might already be too late.
Amidst factions old and new making a bid for power, throwing the world into upheaval, betrayal and loss will wait at every turn.
