And she will lead her allies to victory with her fierce battle cry: "Blood! Blast! And Fire!"

For one day you will see the banners of Cronus riding against you again!" War of the Witches! Ever since Medea's exile to the Darkness, the Icemark has enjoyed a period of peace and prosperity. Warrior Queen Thirrin believes the bad-seed sorceress is gone for good - burnt to ashes and cast out on the Spirit Plain. But banishment did not kill Medea: It made her stronger. Now, allied with Cronus, embodiment of all evil, the reborn witch plots her revenge! Thirrin, her fragile homeland under siege once more, must focus her fearsome military prowess on a fresh invader.

Charlemagne Athelstan Redrought Strong-In-The-Arm Lindenshield: Crippled by disease as a child, the young prince longs to be a warrior, but wonders if the only trait he's inherited from his mother, the fierce Queen Thirrin, is her royal red hair. When the brutal invader Bellorum returns to wreak his revenge on their tiny kingdom, Thirrin sends her son away for his own safety - much to his shame. What Thirrin doesn't realize is that the true threat to the Icemark may be right under her own roof.
