The country is leaderless. The queen is gone and hope is failing. Morghiad must find The Fireblade again if he is to secure his home and his heart, but the path will not be an easy one to tread. New enemies will rise to battle him as he battles with himself, and the most fearsome woman in history will continue to produce her army of blood-hungry eisiels.
An Anomaly of Blaze is the cause of many troubles, but he may also offer a solution to the woes faced by our heroes.
In Calidell, The Fireblade must deal with her wars alone, and the battles she faces are nothing like those of the ten millennia before.
The most horrific of outcomes has been avoided, but fate has other plans for those with fire and fury in their hearts. Silar must pay the price for his murderous act and follow his conscience, while King Tallyn of House Jade'an must come to realise the true implications of his abilities. In Hestavos, a vile business awaits the attention of our heroes.
Artemi has been condemned to the Nightworld - a place where the light of the sun will never warm the earth, where monsters rule the land, and where the fires burn wan and feeble. Few hopes lie there for her to mend her heartache.
Elsewhere, our heroes must contend with unpalatable truths and shadows of the mind. The Voices of Blaze speak their words of advice, but will they bring help or harm?
The Darkworld turns ever more slowly, and its skies grow bleaker by the hour. Field by field, the lands fade to dust, while creatures of the night crawl and creep and seek to claim the day.
Artemi's desire to protect those she loves has resulted in catastrophe - a catastrophe that would knock the strongest stuff from any warrior - and it may now fall to others to do the right thing.
The last volume of The Fireblade Array (Second edition with altered ending - 30th April '18).
Some heroes battle to save the world from the icy grip of darkness, but others fight to make it darker still.
