“One final task before the fall...”
 
The battle of Cirque Kadabra is over. The Bloodmoon has cut its crimson path across the sky, leaving both leech and lamprey reeling in its wake.

In his quest for revenge, the young Hark must recruit an unlikely and dangerous ally. Together, they must outwit the barbarous Order and bring the greatest enemy they have ever faced to his knees.
