Skupina srdnatých hrdinů se spojila, aby podnikla nebezpečnou cestu napříč válkou pustošeným Overworldem. Jejich cílem je porazit Arci-illagera a jeho obávanou armádu. Odkud se Arci-illager vůbec vzal? Malý Archie nikdy nestál o nepřekonatelnou moc. Ale před týráním a ponižováním ostatních illagerů se ukryl v jeskyni, kde objevil cosi, co nadobro změnilo jeho život.
V zoufalé snaze ochránit svoji zemi před hordami bestiálních charrů zažehl král Adelbern všemocný Ničivý oheň, aby nájezdníky odrazil. Magie ale dokáže být dvousečným mečem – Oheň sežehl jak charry, tak lidi. Zatímco mrtvoly charrů stále doutnaly, Ascaloňané povstali z mrtvých, zuřivost jejich krále je totiž proměnila v duchy pověřené ochranou říše… navždy. Z kdysi mocného království zůstal jen strašidelný stín jeho původní slávy. O staletí později potomci Ascaloňanů, kteří utekli do Kryty, čelí ze všech stran obležení. Aby zachránila lidstvo, pokouší se královna Jennah uzavřít s nenáviděnými charry mír. Zbývá překonat poslední překážku. Charrské legie nepodepíší smlouvu o příměří, dokud se jim z ruin padlého Ascalonu nevrátí nejcennější relikvie, Khan-urův spár. Do děsivé, válkou rozervané země se pro Spár vydává družina dobrodruhů, každého přitom sužují vlastní démoni. Pokud artefakt nezískají, zanikne i veškerá naděje na mír mezi lidmi a charry – nemrtvý král vládnoucí Ascalonu se ho však nemíní vzdát a ne všichni si přejí mír!

The New York Times bestselling series based on the blockbuster Xbox® games! While Spartans get all the glory, no soldier―not even the legendary Master Chief―wins a war on their own. Gunnery Sergeant Edward Buck and his team of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODSTs) played a major role in saving the Earth from all-out invasion at the end of the Covenant War―acts of bravery and ingenuity that did not go unnoticed by the United Nations Space Command. Now, after many Spartans have been killed in battle and the Master Chief is listed as MIA, the UNSC decides to create a new generation of Spartans to defend humanity from threats both outside―and within. When they come to Buck with an extraordinary proposition, he is forced to make a life-altering decision. With the Covenant War finally over, is it time for him to finally retire to the sidelines for a life he could only dream about…or is he prepared to step up and become part of the military’s new blood?
