The ancient interdimensional entity, known only as the Void has awakened. Its hungry. And what it eats is the very building blocks of existence. What it leaves in its wake... is nothingness, a void in the very place life once stood.
Hunted by the Empire and ordered to surrender, Alliyanna Kar’Jan chooses a more dangerous path: Erimos. Beneath its deadly desert lies the first fragment of an ancient Key—and trials that will test her, Talak, and Kahlan to their limits. But surviving Erimos is only the beginning. Back at the Imperial Capitol, Alliyanna must face the Senate, defend her name, and claim the future others tried to deny her.
