Stubborn and stiff, Fulviac ignites a war that slips beyond his control as his men quickly slip out of his reach marching onwards leaving a smoking trail of desolation behind them, destroying much more than just their enemies. In the midst of the war Yeoland finds herself being confused, feeling pity for the man she thought she hated the most.
