The monumental construct separates families, divides villages, disrupts weather patterns-and even changes how magic works.

The evil Scarred King rules one side of the wall with an authoritarian fist. Queen Carlota, Ruler of Dendalen, leads a fragile kingdom on the far side of the wall, a kingdom that is already failing as several northern provinces revolt and join the Scarred King.

Carlota must bring the magical wall down or all the prophecies she has dreamed-prophecies of a savior who will rescue Dendalen from disaster-will fail.

Carlota sends her two best warriors-Anton, head of the guard protecting her son, and her own champion, Kala-to do the impossible and bring down the wall while returning the rebel provinces back into the fold. Meanwhile, Carlota must try to protect the people from the Scarred King's constant attacks, using up precious resources to buy just a little more time.

The situation is dire. But Carlota may still have a few tricks up her sleeve...

Join Carlota and her warriors in Dendalen as they face powers that go beyond imagination, to follow a prophesy that leads them across the face of their world, and which promises even worse to come...
