Aethelgard, where seven kingdoms rule, comes to life with the magical energy of the Star Stone. . . But now, that energy is running out. Tensions between kingdoms are escalating, old wounds are bleeding, and hope is giving way to darkness. In the midst of this turmoil, an ancient prophecy resounds: Four children will change the fate of Aethelgard.
Elara, the healer of the forest, Joran, the warrior prince of Valoria, Lyra, Solara's spy in the shadows, and Valerian, the lord of the ice from Vespara. . . These four young people, each from different lands, different backgrounds and different strengths, must come together to save their continent.
Their paths will cross not only on the battlefields of kingdoms, but also with creatures rising from the depths of ancient forests, dragon breath from glaciers, and the forces of Chaos rising from the shadows.
The intrigues within the kingdoms themselves. . . Aethelgard is beset by both external and internal threats.
The fate of Aethelgard will be shaped in the hands of these four young people. Will they be able to bear the weight of prophecy as they struggle with the darkness both in the outside world and within themselves? On a journey of loss, betrayal, and hope, will they be able to save their continent, or will Aethelgard be dragged into her dark destiny that has already been written?
