The kingdom believed the Rift Wars were ancient history-until the ground split open again.
When scouts return with tales of monstrous silhouettes moving in the smokewinds, Eldric and his companions discover a terrifying truth: a new enemy is rising from the chasms. Twisted creatures-born of Rift magic and driven by a collective, ruthless will-have begun sweeping across the frontier. Villages vanish overnight. Caravan routes are destroyed. The first watchtowers fall. As the horde gathers strength, the realm’s fragile alliances begin to fracture. Nobles argue. Merchants flee. And every delay pulls the kingdom closer to collapse. Eldric, Mira, Liora, Toren, and Garrick must venture into the deepest reaches of the broken lands to uncover who-or what-is commanding the horde. But what they find reshapes everything they thought they knew about the Rift, the ancient magic sealed within it, and the cost of surviving its awakening. A story of siege, sacrifice, and unstoppable forces rising from forgotten depths, The Hordes of the Rift continues the epic saga of a realm fighting for its future.
