![]() ![]() The setting takes place roughly seven years after a great war against The Scaled Folk. Though each of their stories is told separately throughout most of the book, they are all brought together towards the end when they fight the dwenda. ![]() The Steel Remains tells the story of three heroes, Ringil, Egar, and Archeth. But with heroes like these, the cure is likely to be worse than the disease. Now Gil and two old comrades are all that stand in the way of a prophecy whose fulfillment will drown an entire world in blood. Some speak in whispers of the return of the Aldrain, a race of widely feared, cruel yet beautiful demons. Grim sorceries are awakening in the land. But it soon becomes apparent that more is at stake than the fate of one young woman. Gil is estranged from his aristocratic family, but when his mother enlists his help in freeing a cousin sold into slavery, Gil sets out to track her down. Such is the prophecy that dogs Ringil Eskiath-Gil, for short-a washed-up mercenary and onetime war hero whose cynicism is surpassed only by the speed of his sword. ![]()
