A longstanding peace is about to be shattered by villains in the shadows of Medora. They conspire with distant nations to cripple the western Empire. In their secretive attempt, they stumble across the power to slay Arius, the god of war, and replace him with a human puppet. But that mission fails, and they not only pave the path for the seven gods to walk the earth, but create a god of war who is bent on their destruction. In the chaos, a great war ignites and threatens all nations and cultures. Great beasts now walk the earth again, and the gods themselves have come down to influence the world of man once more. But the new god of war joins the battle on the Vindyri planes, fighting with all his might for the freedom of mankind, struggling to bring light to the coming darkness.

Tired of sitting back while their borders are being attacked regardless of peace treaties signed, Amalt Paya decides to take it upon herself to investigate anyway, in spite of the punishment she knows she’ll face for defying direct orders not to. Her people are dying. What she and her fellow Ree warriors soon discover is worse than she thought. Entire towns are being razed to the ground. But how? And by who? Their enemy is not who they once thought. Ivan Mandrake, a lieutenant colonel in the United Planetary Forces, is tracking a race called the Ya that is destroying planets. Following the Ya to a planet the UPF isn’t allowed to touch, he and his group come across a legion of winged warrior females. Their orders are to not make contact with the indigenous species of the planet, but the Ya are attacking, which means he and his men don’t have a choice. The Ree know nothing of the technology the Terrans have, but Paya trusts them to help. Unfortunately, the Ree leaders don’t share that trust for the Terrans or Paya. She’s labeled a traitor, stripped of her title, then sent the breeding stocks as punishment for the rest of her days. But she’s not done fighting, they won’t break her, and Ivan won’t stop fighting for her. Regardless of the way her people have wronged her, Paya is still determined to save them from the Ya. With Ivan by her side, her feelings for him grow, and she knows Ivan cares for her, but she’s unworthy now of his love. She’s tainted after what her kind did to her. He’ll have to work to convince her otherwise. In the meantime, their mission is to save her planet. Together.

An island kingdom unites against evil in this illustrated epic fantasy novel from the Blizzard Entertainment art director and author of Grimbeard. Upon the death of Sprign, goddess and creator of the Pandyr and all other beasts in Mistgard, the island has come under attack by ruthless frost and fire giants from afar. Long fragmented, every creature in the eight clans must now come together to defend their land. Hammerheart must join with Darkcloud, Mistcloak with Thundermaw, and, most important, the children of Sprign must unite with their forgotten comrades of the ninth clan: the Bearzyrk. Led by the eldest of the Pandyr, the clans make their way to the Aesirmyr Peaks for a final standoff. As frost covers Mistgard, old prejudices must be overcome if the Pandyr hope to match the giants Lord Wintyr and King Sumyr in battle. Features all-new original illustrations throughout from legendary Blizzard Entertainment art director Samwise Didier. Praise for Grimbeard “Lavishly illustrated . . . outrageous, irreverent, and quite often, downright enlightening.” —Micky Neilson, bestselling author of Ashbringer and Pearl of Pandaria “Didier has outdone himself with this impressive display of both his artistic and literary skills.” —Gerald Brom, award-winning author of Lost Gods
