The Daroth are a powerful warrior race returning to conquer lands that have forgotten how to oppose them. Cities fall quickly, rulers hesitate and ordinary armies prove unable to match enemies bred for strength, discipline and remorseless war.

Resistance gathers around Karis, a gifted strategist, and Tarantio, a swordsman who shares his mind with the lethal personality called Dace. Their alliance offers humanity a chance, but victory depends on controlling inner violence as well as defeating the invading force, and neither warrior can be certain which part of Tarantio will survive the war.
