War grips two worlds as heroes rise to challenge the sinister Heralds of Ruin. In the realm of Andomhaim, Ridmark Arban leads the armies of the High King against the brutal legions of the Heptarchy. A daring ruse might defeat the might of Warlord Agravhask, or it will bring Andomhaim crashing down in ruin. In the Empire, the armies of the reunified Empire move to challenge the sinister necromancers of the Order of Blood. But Tyrcamber Rigamond has battled the Master of the necromancers before, and he fears a deadly unseen trap. For behind the Heptarchy and the Order of Blood are the Heralds of Ruin, and they will burn worlds at the command of the Warden of Urd Morlemoch.

The legions of the Heptarchy have invaded Andomhaim, and Ridmark Arban stands in their way. But without aid, Andomhaim cannot defeat the Heralds of Ruin. To seek out the weaknesses of his foes, Ridmark must travel into the depths of the Heptarchy to seek out the mysterious wizard called the Master of Keys. But the brutal rulers of the Heptarchy will not allow Ridmark to escape their grasp...

The tide of war engulfs two worlds. Ridmark has liberated Cintarra from the dark legions of the Heptarchy. But the Heralds of Ruin now march upon Cathair Kaldran, which holds a source of unimaginable power. And if the Heralds claim that power, countless worlds will burn to ashes. To defeat them, Ridmark must take up a weapon that might consume him. Once again he must wield the Sword of the Dragon Knight...

As the city of Cintarra groans in the iron fist of the Heptarchy's legions, Sir Niall of the Order of the Soulblade and the master thief Moriah Rhosmor join forces to fight the invaders. But the dark powers of the Heptarchy may be too strong for anyone to defeat...

The beginning of an adventure that will shake the world of Eberron! A war hero, his mind broken by the wonders he witnessed on his last mission for his nation, has spent years in the deepest, darkest prison in all the world. Wallowing in despair and ever on the verge of madness, he is caught by surprise when a band of strangers breaks him out. But his rescuers don't exactly have his best interests at heart. The magic relic that broke his once-brilliant mind may be the key to stopping worldwide destruction--and whether he lives or dies really doesn't concern them.

Born with a secret power he must hide… Telryn “Trip” Yert has always been a little odd, with hunches that are too accurate to explain. Magic is feared and forbidden in Iskandia, so he’s struggled his whole life to hide his eccentricities. As a boy, he was forced to watch his mother’s execution. Her crime? Witchcraft. Understandably, Trip wants nothing to do with the power that lurks within him, always threatening to reveal itself. Instead, he dedicates himself to serving as an officer in the king’s army, to battling pirates and imperial conquerors. He longs to become a soldier as respected and renowned as the legendary General Zirkander. But his country is in need of more than a soldier. After disappearing for over a thousand years, dragons have returned to the world. A few of them are willing to be allies to mankind, as they were millennia before, but far more want to destroy or enslave humans and claim the world for themselves. There are few people left with the power to fight dragons. For reasons he doesn’t understand, Trip may be one of those people. But if he chooses to learn more about his heritage and the power he can wield, he risks losing everyone he loves and everything he longs to be.
