After thousands of years of enslaving the human race, the Sybarians were forced into hiding, only to emerge again from the shadows and reclaim the world. Now man wants it back-and they need a special warrior to lead them into battle. Vala is a Mare. Very few Mares exist in history. Their abilities extend far beyond that of mortal man. They are chosen. Throughout the battles of man versus Sybaris, the Mares have been instrumental in victory. Now knowing the power she possesses, Vala embarks on her quest to destroy the Civilized Sybaris from within their very own walls. She embeds herself in the Ancient City to find a way to send the Sybaris back to the dark ages once and for all-and protect the ones she loves.
