De terribles catastrophes ravagent le monde de Balaia : raz-de-marée, tremblements de terre... Nombreux sont ceux qui accusent les magiciens d'en être à l'origine. Ils n'ont pas tout à fait tort... car une magie ancienne et terrifiante est de retour, incarnée dans un être qui pourrait être l'Unique, celui qui réunira les arts des quatre Collèges en un seul. Pour sauver Balaia et ses habitants, il faudrait assassiner ce fauteur de troubles... C'est une mission pour les Ravens. Le problème, c'est que cet être est une petite fille de cinq ans, Lyanna, et que ses parents sont Denser et Erienne, les mages des Ravens ! Tandis que les Collèges, en guerre ouverte, essaient de s'emparer de l'enfant pour récupérer son pouvoir, Erienne parvient à se sauver avec elle. Elle part en quête de ceux qui pourront aider sa fille à sortir de l'OmbreMage, période infantile où les mages ne canalisent pas encore leurs pouvoirs. La petite fille a peur, et ses peurs détruisent tout sur leur passage. Les Ravens vont tout faire pour la retrouver. Mais pourront-ils se permettre de la laisser en vie

The Raven: The final stand. NOT EVEN DEATH CAN STOP THEM. The Unknown Warrior has spent last ten years mourning his dead - those of the legendary mercenary band, The Raven, who fell in battle. As the reluctant ruler of Balaia, he has also presided over the gradual recovery of his land after the devastation wreaked by the Demonstorm. The other survivor from The Raven, Denser, has spent those years rebuilding Xetesk to be the dominant college of magic. But something is wrong. The Elves are fleeing their homeland, as rumours of the dead coming back to life ... of something that has so terrified the spirits of the dead that they are returning to Balaia. And amongst them are The Raven's fallen. The legendary band are together again - just in time to face a battle that cannot be won ...

Suddenly he's risking his life and the lives of all those he cares about for a secret which could expose corruption at the highest levels, and change the course of the war. One man, one brief conversation . . . a whole world of trouble . . .
