With the destruction of The Unmaker, and his regeneration into a Death World Vulpian, Miles Sorvenjar Radien enters a new era of life, in which he has become the warrior-wanderer he always dreamed of being. And yet, doubt clouds his mind as he prepares himself for the battles to come. With his new body and its new strengths, Radien knows that there is a coming-of-age trial upon his new home world of Raon-Arashal that will either extinguish the doubts he carries, or destroy him for the fact he carries them: The Gauntlet of Doom.
