Nightside of the Sun: Alliance IV

In the realm of Sartorias-deles, long-dormant magical forces are once again stirring. A four-volume arc, beginning with "A Sword Named Truth," chronicles a shaky alliance forged among young rulers who were thrust onto their thrones too soon. This alliance survived a first foray, led by Siamis, the handsome young Norsundrian born four thousand years ago.

The world's mages recognize that this is not the quiet of peace, but rather the stillness before the storm. The sinister and elusive Norsundrian commander, Detlev, has been seen more often in the past five years than he has in the past five hundred. The young allies discover that their alliance has been infiltrated by a mirror alliance of Norsundrian boys, trained by Detlev.

This revelation leads inexorably to a deadly stalking game. The world's mages are keenly aware that the calm they are experiencing is not the peace they long for, but the eerie calm before a tempestuous storm. Siamis, the young Norsundrian commander, was born four thousand years ago and has been leading the first foray of the shaky alliance formed by the young rulers.

These rulers, thrust into their positions of power too soon, have managed to survive this initial encounter, but they now face an even greater challenge. Detlev, the sinister and elusive Norsundrian commander, has been sighted more frequently in recent years than he has been in the past five centuries.

The young allies soon uncover a startling discovery – their alliance has been infiltrated by a mirror alliance of Norsundrian boys, trained by Detlev himself. This revelation sets the stage for a deadly game of cat and mouse, as the young rulers must navigate the treacherous waters of this new threat.

The world's mages, with their keen insight into the ebb and flow of magical forces, know that this period of seeming calm is not the peace they have been seeking, but rather the eerie stillness that precedes a looming storm. The stage is set for a epic confrontation, as the young rulers must draw upon their newfound alliances and the wisdom of the ancient mages to confront the growing Norsundrian threat.
