On 29 August 1997, the Muggle world ended in a sudden rain of fire. The wizarding world, for all its attempts to remain separate and hidden and aloof, didn't fare much better. Those wizards and witches who survived soon faced a new foe, one they could barely comprehend: metal imbued with unnatural life and guided by a cold, implacable intelligence. All seemed lost.

But then, on the other side of the Atlantic, a leader rose from the ashes - one who had survived attempts by the Enemy to kill him since before he was born. He rallied the Muggles and taught them how to fight back against the Machines. By whispers and shortwave, his legend spread to faraway shores.

Now, four years after Judgment Day, a new millenium dawns under skies darkened by endless winter. Can the two Boys Who Lived forge an alliance that will bring the power of magic to the war ... or will the remaining wizards choose the sanctuary offered by another, if they only bend their knee to him and call him Dark Lord?
