King Robert and his allies from the elfin and dwarven lands make hast to war against the darkelf king, Alaric Phalomar. The darkelves and their allies, the savage boarmen, are annihilating anyone standing in the way of their invasion and extermination of those living topside. No one knows the true intentions of the shiny hawk-like beings, mysterious foes from another dimension, but the powerful darkelves fear them. Wist, a lesser god, must find his own way of dealing with the war, and reuniting with the princess he loves. Even Cedric’s magically conjured nanny cannot account for his innate abilities, and Oro Swain bounces through time like a rubber ball until F.A.T. E. catches up with him in the twenty second-century.
