  • Encore adolescent, Wyl Thirsk doit assumer le rôle pour lequel on le destinait depuis sa naissance : commandant en chef des armées de Morgravia! Une responsabilité qui le conduit à la cour du prince Celimus, un despote sadique. Là, un geste de bonté envers une sorcière condamnée au bûcher vaudra à Wyl un don miraculeux, ainsi que la colère de son seigneur et maître. Contraint de lui obéir, Wyl est envoyé au Nord où la guerre menace, pour une mission suicidaire à la cour ennemie... avec pour seule arme un mystérieux pouvoir dont il ne soupçonne pas même l'existence. Or, s'il n'embrasse pas le Dernier Souffle, il signera sa perte... et celle du pays qu'il a juré de défendre.
