When Charles hires a magician to get rid of his dark dream, the lost god is lit up like a sunset, and every dark force in this world and the next wants a piece of him: literally.  Only his brother the soldier, his lover the concubine, and a renegade witch stand between Charles and those who would use him to conquer and destroy.  But more than just the world is at stake, and there is more than one god in the world.  If Charles claims his power, he must also claim his identity.  He must remember all that he has forgotten, and the nightmare that disturbs his sleep must become the heartache that destroys his life.  If the Lord chooses to save the world, again, this time it will cost him his Lady.
