SummaryAxis is the StarMan of prophecy and legend, destined to
lead the three races of his world to unite as one people.
The people of his world all know the Prophecy of the
Destroyer, despite the failed attempts of the Seneschal to
suppress it in the name of the god Artor the Ploughman, and
it predicts and dictates Axis's path through war and
destruction to the creation of Tencendor. The Prophecy foretold that Axis would defeat his half-
brother and lay claim to the land that Tencendor will be
created upon. The Prophecy told of the traitor in Axis's
camp-Faraday's champion, Timozel. And the Prophecy foretold many a choice that Axis must make
in order to fulfill his destiny . . . but neglected to
mention the choice between the beautiful and courageous
Faraday, his late half-brother's wife, and the feisty and
hauntingly enchanting Azhure. To Faraday, he had pledged his love and a place by his side
as ruler of Tencendor; to Azhure, he had given his
children, his time, and his devotion. His love for both women is what the last twist of the
Prophecy relies on. While Azhure explores her newfound
powers as an Icarii Enchantress, and Faraday replants the
ancient forests of the Mother, the evil Gorgrael is
plotting Axis's downfall, invading the sky with ice and
terror and the flesh-hungry Gryphons. His most daring move
is to follow prophecy, to taunt Axis with the pain of his
beloved. But which beloved woman will Gorgrael choose . . . and will
she be the one whose death will distract Axis from saving
the world?
