More DescriptionPrince Harlan ascends the throne of Larkhall on the battlefield when his father is killed beside him; he instantly inherits the invasion of corpse-like Northerners which rages around him - and also a surging blight, centered on an ancient crater, which has been turning farms to ash and will soon starve his people even if they repel the invaders. The legends of Larkhall contend that a monarch might end the blight by descending into the crater and a cavern system within. With the help of his capable sister Calandra, his mother Rowena, and his great uncle Orovein - but opposed by his ambitious and desperate cousin Amira - Harlan must choose between abandoning his people to a poisonous siege or watching their homeland literally turn to dust.Harlan knows the chronicles and lore of his ancestors, who have fought for centuries for their kingdom and its people; but none has stopped the blight or withstood an army like the one outside the gates of Larkhall.
