Synopsis
To preserve the future, Alex must find the secrets of the past. After a devastating battle, Alex Roth is left with more questions than answers, and—as the Ravener grows more aggressive—he and his companions struggle to learn the truth of Thameland’s Cycle. But—thanks to an old enemy—they do have one lead, though it will take them into the bowels of the darkest Hells. To prepare, Alex will have to reveal who he truly is to the other Heroes of Thameland, and deal with the consequences. On the line are not only truths about Thameland’s endless, bloody cycles…but also the greatest secret of the patron Saint of Alric… …the Traveller.
