The rift begins a new age, splitting time itself with magic older than the forgotten gods. It is a moment of chaos and upheaval, when alliances fracture along fault lines and peoples are raised up to thrive . . . or are brought low.

Anything is possible.

Anything can happen.

Welcome, my friend, to Sirethan.


A bittersweet victory.

Lithrial has narrowly avoided death, but she has no idea if her beloved Apathan is still alive. And Ferelthin may be by her side, but since their impassioned kiss and his shocking confession, Lithrial can't help but wonder what else he's keeping hidden in his heart. All the other elven gods vanished centuries ago; Lithrial should know better than to trust the only one still alive.

Now based in the southern mountain city of Viathan, having thwarted the humans' deadly attack, Lithrial knows it's only a matter of time before it's all-out war. The rift above only grows, and with every passing day, so does the chaos.

Desperation fuels the hunt.

Apathan knows more than he lets on. The only elf mage powerful enough to ascend to Tier 5 White Oak in generations, he has stayed in the shadows of the slums for a lifetime, and now even as refugees from the attack flood into Lithrial's city, Apathan is still missing, and Lithrial may be the only person who can track him. He leaves in his wake only a tantalising clue, a refrain he's repeated through Lithrial's childhood and adulthood:
Home is always waiting.

Lithrial must find her grandfather. His wisdom, his knowledge, his magic, and his dedication to their peoples' survival makes him a formidable ally--and to the One God's acolytes, a dire threat that must be extinguished.

She's not the only one on his trail.

Legends wake across the land and beneath it as Lithrial and her companions delve into ancient secrets and wake mythical monsters, all while dodging the One God's hunters and spies.

If she wants to build a beacon of hope for the oppressed, Lithrial will have to become that beacon herself.

Aurora���s Rift demands heroes to shape what comes next.

It is the anvil upon which their mettle is tested.

It is the arena in which they will wrest a future from the ashes of the past.

It is time for Lithrial to take her place among legends.
