Three weary travelers have reached the halfway point to their destined rendezvous with a mighty kingdom.

All that stands in their way is an endless mountain pass where more questions than answers are raised as they travel, battling hunger, nature, and yes, even Shalaak the necromancer who is always one step ahead. Despite his power far surpassing theirs, he faces his own challenges while being pursued by hunting parties and stalked by voracious beasts.

Dirk is no closer to understanding his purpose, though he thinks it involves being the self-appointed guardian of Mezz the prophetess whose apprehension to deliver the Entity's message at Micus grows by the day. Drake eagerly awaits returning to the homeland he was banished from over fifty years ago so that he can settle the score with the king who betrayed him..

Questions stay with them as the kingdom draws them nigh. What happens after the message is delivered? What is left for them when every pure word has been spoken? Perhaps only Shalaak knows, or maybe even the Order of the White Rabbit whose conspiracies have necessitated the deliverance of the message in the first place.

All may find their answers, but none may be prepared for them. By Entity's will, the Planet Prophecies must be spoken, and many will learn that painful truths are more dangerous than comfortable lies.
