Within the Land of Erde, a child is born. His name is Vandor Leshing. Weary of the wickedness, his grandfather (aforetime known as the Bladesman, former Auctoritas of the Sealed in Kirche of Signum) moved his family to Nesal long before the days of his grandson, having faced the servants of Darkness many times as one who served King Salvare. Will Vandor face the loss of his love, while his friend embraces the dark sorcery, as turmoil within the city and signs throughout Erde seem to point toward the prophecies of the coming Ekleipsis? Rubicund, the Dragon, has surfaced with the pale Piradad, and has come to give life unto the fallen wicked one. Jagare, son of the late Galtare, grandson of the betrayer Judarius, has recovered from his deadly wound and prepares his army of Gottlos and Ubils to contend against all of Erde. All must take the mark and bow in allegiance or face death. No soul is safe from the arm of Darkness as it stretches forth even unto the secret city of the dwarfs. Their only hope is to endure until the Daegsteorra. Witnesses have declared the imminent return of King Salvare, lending encouragement to many of the souls in hiding. Groups disperse in search and rescue of those who were left behind, pleading to all who will come, as the battle rages on against the forces of Darkness. The army of Rubicund surfaces to destroy the inhabitants of Erde. If Jagare rises to power in Signum, while his army secures a perimeter of evil, is there any hope for King Salvare and his people at the time of the Andeis? What shall be the fate of the souls of the Land of Erde?

In this inspirational memoir, Grey's Anatomy actor Isaiah Washington explains how filling in the gaps of his past led him to discover a new passion: helping those less fortunate. DNA testing revealed that Washington was descended from the Mende people, who today live in Sierra Leone. For many people, the story would end with the results of the search; for Isaiah, it had just begun. Discovering his roots has given him a new purpose, to lead an inspirational life defined by faith and charity. After visiting Sierra Leone, and researching the country and its needs, Washington forged a strong relationship with the Mende people, and was inducted as Chief Gondobay Manga in May 2006. He established The Gondobay Manga Foundation to institute many improvements suggested by the country's people, addressing educational concerns, practical issues (road building, water supply, and electricity), and rehabilitative projects. Dual citizenship has been a dream of African-Americans such as W.E.B. DuBois, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X, but Washington became the first to realize that honor in 2008. A twofold milestone, it was also the first time an African president granted citizenship based on DNA.
