As the goblin fleet spreads out across the galaxy, the new formed Vanelian Compact struggles to stand against them. Only the might of the dwarves, along with their legendary Runestone Fleet, can hope to stand against them. As the leaders of the Compact negotiate with the dwarves, Radek and Ovian learn that the goblins have made alliances of their own, ones that are far more terrifying than anyone has imagined. Together with Brenna, the daughter of the dwarven ambassador, they must face dangers the likes of which the galaxy has never seen.
