== Plot summary ==
The son of a trapper, raised by elves, befriended by animals, entrusted with magic, Barr was but a boy on a journey that had taken many, many lifetimes. Seeking to avenge his father’s death, he would cross into Lumintor, home to shapelings of all manner and size.
The shapeling war had ended but left Taellus in ruin, its people broken and struggling to mend the pieces. On the verge of ascension, Barr struggled as well, to make sense of his past lives and understand his true purpose. Fluora by his side, coping with her own new powers as Matron, things began to take a turn for the worse.


Little did he know, Revyn, the God of Change, had plans of his own, plans set in motion long before Barr was ever born. It was what Revyn had been waiting for, the time when one of the new races bore a child on its final lesson, a soul on the verge of enlightenment.
The children gods, made mortal, were being hunted one by one. Through fiery rifts between realms came new creatures of nightmare, umbrals twisted and remade by the madness of a banished god, and with them a blight that stole furie from the land.


It was what Markus had awaited as well, enduring centuries of enchanted slumber so that he might one day rule all of Taellus – in Revyn’s name. The Emblems would no longer be hidden, and his revenants would stop at nothing to find them.
Every world at risk, all of life at stake, the only hope to survive was in joining the disparate races to a common cause. Quarrels aside, they had to ready for his return, for the blight that preceded him, for the horrors that would come from…


It had finally come, the journey’s end…  The last Incarnation.<sup>1</sup>
