[edit] Plot
Walker Boh, still attempting to form a new Druid Council, sets out on a voyage to find knowledge of the old world in a faraway land. Accompanying Walker is a varied group of Elven Hunters, a Dwarf, a shapeshifter, a seer, and the two most powerful beings on the expedition after Walker: Quentin Leah and Bek Ohmsford. Pursuing them is the Ilse Witch, a sorceress who is actually Bek's lost sister Grianne; and her evil mentor, the Mwellret/human hybrid known as the Morgawr. However, a dangerous foe also awaits the company in the land of Parkasia: Antrax, a machine that feeds upon magical energy. After countless dangers, the company returns to the Four Lands sadly reduced: Walker and the shapeshifter Truls Rohk are dead, as are all the Elves except for Ahren Elessedil, while the Dwarf Panax is back in Parkasia. There is hope, though: Grianne has been redeemed, and has taken Walker's place as the High Druid.
