In every world there are the players; listeners, doers and sayers. They are those who define their world as they build and destroy civilizations. Yet there are other, more mysterious, players who have lived across the ages … undetected.

Nymtha, the Shadow Pilgrim, is an elite member of the Genn, an aloof race of shadow and earth. Without the slightest interference in the affairs of men, he silently watched the world of mortals since the beginning of time with ice-cold indifference.

When the world of Talor is getting readied for the last chapter, Nymtha hears something; a fading whisper. Now he finds himself in front of the choice every Genn fears to face. After millennia in the dark, Nymtha may be forced to run into the light … onto history’s stage.
