Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. En medio de una guerra celestial y milenaria, diez durmientes han sido despertados, exiliados de Ethelas y designados como los guardianes de la luz de Nur. Sin mayor indicacion que esconder su encargo de los anurdeos que han irrumpido en la tierra; los antiguos durmientes se veran en la imperante necesidad de descubrir su pequena participacion en los eventos de mayor relevancia que se acontecen en el reino de Nur a fin de prevalecer y ser recompensados con un alma. El fallar no es una opcion, pues aquellos caidos se perderan en la nada y el olvido. Los antiguos durmientes aprenderan que esconder su preciada carga no es una opcion; seran forzados por las circunstancias a tomar decisiones importantes, deberan renunciar a sus grandiosas formas para convertirse en simples humanos. Percibiran gradualmente que su lado humano empezara a prevalecer, generando la perdida continua y gradual de sus habilidades, olvidando su majestuoso pasado; lo que dividira al grupo y pondra en riesgo su encargo.
