A star is plucked from the heavens, given mortal form, and sent into the world of Medierth. The love of starborn Karyana is the one slim hope that Reveen, exiled Planar of Magic, has for redemption. Such is the will and mercy of the Divine Council. There is one member of council, however, who will stop at nothing to extinguish that faint spark of grace. Xelnos the Planar of Destruction would tear all hope from Reveen once and for all. Working through Pison, a dark assassin of preternatural origin and ability, Xelnos sets his will and hatred in Reveen's path. But the intricacies of fate are such that none can know the ultimate consequences of any action.
