Darren is still out there looking for his wayward once-friend, and will stop at nothing to end what he sees as a threat to Drenwell's safety. He'll need to learn his own limits, if he has any hope of standing against his rival.With the Chosen hot on his heels, the man who was Jas flees into foreign lands together with his new goddess. One goal unifies them - revenge. They'll need allies to get it, but finding allies takes time.Time they're running all too short of as Drenwell closes in.
