Long, long ago, Erathien was a world full of magick, and light. However, that time is all but forgotten. The nine gods have fallen, magick is a dead art among the humans, and the magickal races have largely withdrawn to their homelands. The world isn't as it once was, but that is changing once again. Lady Chaos, the eldest of the nine, has returned, seeking vengeance for a long-ago wrong. Her brutal plans to conquer all of Erathien begin with Coren's people, a small band of werecats living in the northern peaks of the Cortach Range. By sheer luck, Coren survives her attack, but finds himself far away from home, his family, and his friends. All he wants is to make it home safely, but it seems that the gods have other plans. A different awakening goddess, Lady Kinaar, has taken up lodging in his head. In becoming her ward, Coren has become Erathien's last hope. Coren must make his way home, raise an army, figure out his new powers, and defeat Lady Chaos, all in a matter of months. If he fails, the balance of the universe will be upset, and everything as we know it will end.
