Sorak knew that he would have to pay for the truth about his past, but he did not know that the price would be so high. He learned about his parents, about his destroyed tribe, about the destiny that he carried within himself, but this knowledge came at the cost of voices that led him through the burning sands. For the first time in his life, he felt alone. And how much more could be lost... With Galdra, the enchanted sword of the Elven kings, in his hands, Sorak fulfills the task given to him by the Sage. He seeks out the Mask Alliance in Altaruk, hoping to direct their forces against the ever-increasing number of defilers. But the legend of the Nomad goes before him, and the desecrators are about to end both the legend and the Nomad.
