Book V · The Song Beneath the Stone

The Song Beneath the Stone

Vel Andurath is reached. The origin chamber is older than anything the company has seen. The recess in the floor has been waiting for a very long time.

What happens next is not a battle. It is not magic in the conventional sense. It is a reckoning — and Sable Dunmore, record-keeper from Ashfen, has been preparing for it since the morning he pulled a stone tablet out of a flooded basement and wrote down that it probably predated everything he had ever studied. He was right. The record is complete. The question is whether the world is ready to hear it.
