At Kliff's side stood his steadfast Greymane comrades: Oongka, Yann, and Naira.​

That fragile peace is shattered with the sudden assault of the Black Bears. The Greymanes fall one by one in the ambush. In a desperate struggle against their fearsome leader Myurdin, Kliff and the few Greymanes who survive are scattered to the winds.

Along this path, he would meet those who seek to upend the very order of the continent and face a mission unlike any he has ever known.
