Legendary warrior King Tavurek leads his mercenary army to battle the mighty Volarian army, led by the man known to history as the Tip of the Spear. In the bloodbath that follows, there can only be one winner. The final battle between the city-state of Ketia and the Volarian Empire, as recounted by the Imperial chronicler Lord Vernier, is an event shrouded in many secrets and, as some say, created by the servants of darkness. A short story set in the same world as the Shadow of the Raven series by New York Times bestselling author Anthony Ryan.
