BA 4/10) muss es dem Herrscherpaar Elant und Vin gelingen, den "Dunkelgrund" zu besiegen, um das Reich zu retten, das Land vom verheerenden Ascheregen und dem Nebel zu befreien. Mithilfe ihrer Freunde, einer Gruppe von Kriegern und Wissenschaftlern, erkennen sie, dass sie nur Werkzeuge zweier göttlicher Kräfte gewesen sind, die sich seit Anbeginn bekämpfen. "Ruin" ist der grosse Zerstörer und "Bewahr" will die Menschheit retten. Vin kann im finalen Kampf die guten Kräfte von "Bewahr", der sich im Nebel verbirgt, in sich aufnehmen und in letzter Sekunde das Weltenende verhindern. Die Einzelkapitel werden von den Texten des Wissenschaftlers Sazed eingeleitet, der die ganz unterschiedlichen Völkerschaften des "Letzten Reiches" und die erstaunlichen, magischen Möglichkeiten zu erläutern versucht. Karten, ein Glossar und die Zusammenfassungen der beiden ersten Bände ergänzen den faszinierenden Band. Der Autor hat hier eine vielschichtige Fantasywelt erschaffen.
