Three beautiful and dangerous lands have clashed, and the result is an all-out war between them. There is Paragon - a living and breathing paradise. Terra - a cold and brutal land where the strong survive and the weak are forgotten. And Cimmerian - a warrior's Valhalla, where the bold and the courageous unite through their fire song to overcome any opponent. James Alters, a man burdened by his past, seeks to end the war in order to keep his family and friends alive, but with violence and destruction on all sides, that might be easier said than done.

Understanding his limitations and with time running short, he seeks out the help of warriors past - ancient knights that have been around since the beginning of time. But he soon learns that there is a reason for their disappearance, and their rising may only upset the balance. Meanwhile, Chloe and Kyran deal with the fallout from the events of Rise of the Sages, and Bastion begins to feel the consequences of his world-altering decisions.
