After her adventures with Magiere and Leesil, Wynn Hygeorht has returned to the Guild of Sagecraft, bearing texts supposedly penned by vampires from the time of the Forgotten History and the Great War. Seized by the Guild's scholars and sent out for copying without Wynn's consent, several pages disappear — and the two sages charged with conveying these pages are murdered. Suspicious of the Guild, separated from the only friends she fully trusts, and convinced the Noble Dead are responsible for the killings, Wynn embarks on a quest to uncover the secrets of the texts.
War seethed across the planet. Machines soared through the air, churned through the seas, crawled across the surface, pushing ever forward, carrying death. Earth was engaged in a titanic struggle.

«Рыба вышла из воды, чтобы стать чем-то другим. Человек, выйдя в космос, тоже изменится…» Ну, или как-то так там было, не помню. Суть в том, что ничерта мы не изменились. Мы уже тысячи лет среди звезд, но все так же тащим туда себя самих.
