Ο ΘΡΟΝΟΣ ΑΠΟ ΔΡΑΚΟΚΟΚΑΛΟ (ΠΡΩΤΟΣ ΤΟΜΟΣ)
Ένας πόλεμος που χειροτερεύει με τις σκοτεινές δυνάμεις της μαγείας. . . ετοιμάζεται να καταπιεί την ειρηνική χώρα του Όστεν Αρντ - γιατί ο Πρέστερ Τζον, ο Υψηλός Βασιλιάς, που έσφαξε τον τρομερό δράκο Σουρακάι, κείτεται ετοιμοθάνατος. Και μόλις θα πεθάνει, ένα αρχαίο κακό επιτέλους θα απελευθερωθεί, καθώς ο Βασιλιάς της Καταιγίδας, ο απέθαντος κυβερνήτης των ξωτικών Σίθι, ζητά να ανακτήσει το χαμένο του βασίλειο κάνοντας συνθήκη με κάποιον άνθρωπο που έχει βασιλικό αίμα.

Η ΠΕΤΡΑ ΤΟΥ ΑΠΟΧΑΙΡΕΤΙΣΜΟΥ (ΠΡΩΤΟΣ ΤΟΜΟΣ)
Είναι μια εποχή σκοτεινιάς, τρόμου και ύστατης δοκιμασίας για τον κόσμο του Όστεν Αρντ. Η άγρια μαγεία και οι τρομακτικοί ακόλουθοι του απέθαντου κυρίαρχου Σίθι, του Ινελούκιι, Βασιλιά της Καταιγίδας, απλώνουν το φαινομενικά αήττητο κακό τους πέρα ως πέρα πάνω από το βασίλειο. Με την ίδια τη γη να φθείρεται από τη δύναμη της οργής του Ινελούκιι, τα κουρελιασμένα απομεινάρια ενός κάποτε περήφανου ανθρώπινου στρατού δραπετεύουν πασχίζοντας να ανασυνταχθούν στο τελευταίο καταφύγιο -την Πέτρα του Αποχαιρετισμού, ένα τόπο τυλιγμένο με μυστήριο ...
