Andiel of Lee dreams in red and black. The red faces of his friends and family cry out to him to save them from black battlefields as he passes by. Then, one night, a flash of white and a pair of green eyes call to him from his sleep. Soon enough, news of war arrives at the doorstep of Andiel's home, and the tribes of the Tear Tracks have been summoned to stand against the foreign Burnt Horde that devastates all in its path. The sacred blades of the Weeping God have been unboxed, and a champion has been chosen. But is this champion the hero they truly need, or is there another? Andiel may need to risk both life and soul if his people are to survive. Whatever happens, all will be as gods will.
