A Plague Of Shadows

A Lion That Walks has emerged in Kal'ada'abassa after nearly three thousand years. While some rejoice, others find his arrival disturbing, even as Bantu tries to make sense of it all. Far out on the Macca Deep, on the bridge of the Leviathan, Captain-Commander Basil Noruba Mandraggan chases down black ships as chaos erupts on the high seas, while another Captain-Commander of the Peoples Company, Onya Onoto, makes her way to the ancient city of Saladon, wondering what a once in a lifetime meeting of the Compact will bring. The Watchman, Cordovan del Allegressa, looks for a way into the Hallowed Place of Horrors in the hopes that Mino din' Darksbane yet lives, while their apprentices race headlong toward Palladawn with the message that evil lives. From Al'akaz to Mees, the portents of an oncoming storm rise as an ancient evil reaches out from the darkness, spreading its influence like a pestilence across the Twelve Nations. Little do the warriors, who stand in the Light, realize - though they are spread across the known world, they are all faced with the same onslaught of a plague they cannot escape - a plague of shadows.
