As plague and famine scourge the Winter Kingdoms, a vast invasion force is mustering from beyond the northern seas. And at its heart, a dark spirit mage wields the blood magic of ancient, vanquished gods.


Summoner-King Martris Drayke must attempt to meet this great threat, gathering an army from a country ravaged by civil war. Neighboring lands reel toward anarchy while plague decimates their leaders. Drayke must seek new allies from among the living—and the dead—as an untested generation of rulers face their first battle.


Then someone disturbs the legendary Dread as they rest in a millennia-long slumber beneath sacred barrows. Their warrior guardians, the Sworn, know the Dread could be pivotal as a force for great good or evil. But if it's the latter, could even the Summoner-King's sorcery prevail?

      This book is the beginning of a new cycle in the Chronicles of the Necromancer. It liberally provides background information about the characters, which is useful but also bogs the narration down with asides. Kirby Heyborne's narration is steady and deliberate. Accents help to distinguish the characters but are not obviously tied to the region from which they come or the "group" to which they belong (for example, human or vampire). Despite the background information provided, a lack of familiarity with the earlier works makes it difficult to differentiate the various strands of the plot. As the story is primarily setting the stage for the next book and the great battle that is clearly coming, perhaps it would be best to start the series at the beginning. J.E.M.
