Peace is impossible while the family survives

As the Northern Alliance threatens the Stormwind's power, the family retaliates, forcing the rulers of the Petty Kingdoms to bend to their will. Hoping to finally end the family’s influence, Athgar and Natalia travel to Abelard for a secret meeting, striking a deal for the future of Therengia.

With a bold plan to destroy the Volstrum, they must cross Zaran, where the brave vanish, and the foolhardy lose their minds. Is there truth in the stories of dangerous beasts, or are they just tales meant to frighten children?

Struggling through the wilderness, with danger threatening at every turn, they seek solace in the knowledge that their sacrifice will lead to a future without strife Only when they discover a secret long lost to the annals of history do they see a beacon of hope.

The end is coming—a titanic clash of the most powerful mages on the Continent.

Witness the ultimate confrontation in Cataclysm, Paul J Bennett’s epic conclusion to The Frozen Flame series.
