WITHIN THE CALL OF KERBEROS LIES THE DESTINY OF ALL HUMANKIND!

 

Silus Morlader is a fisherman working the Nurn coast; a simple man leading a simple life. But there is more to Silus than even he himself realises. A mysterious man on the run from the Final Faith tries to persuade Silus to join him on an extraordinary voyage, and when an ancient and evil race bursts from the sea and tries to claim him as one of their own, Silus is forced to flee his home.

 

Soon Silus becomes a pawn in a deadly game played between ancient races. On the forbidding Twilight seas, Silus begins to discover the extraordinary truth behind his burgeoning preternatural abilities. As he battles alongside the crew of the magical galleon, the Llothriall, he will find out more about his world and his legacy than he could ever have imagined. Hearing the call of Kerberos, he will fight to save existence itself!

“CHILD OF TRASS KATHRA... WELCOME HOME!”

 

One year after Kali Hooper defeated the Pale Lord, Bastion Redigor lives on in the body of Jakub Freel. The mysterious entity known as the Hel’ss, meanwhile, moves closer to Twilight, welcomed as the herald of their ascension by the Final Faith. Only Kali and her friends know the deadly reality of what this will bring, but they have been declared outlaws, hunted by the Order of The Swords of Dawn.

 

So begins Kali’s penultimate adventure, a quest far beyond the Stormwall to the mystical Trass Kathra, the Island of the Lost. Here she will suffer the trials of the Four to discover the true nature of Twilight’s gods and her own shocking origin in the chaotic depths of the Thunderflux. Kali Hooper is dead, and this is the beginning of the end...
