When Darkness falls upon Learsi,

and nightmares take on form,

ten friends unite a shattered kingdom,

and forgotten Hope returns...

Joshian Farstrid desired a simple life. He had his place on the ships, and a stable future. He had friends who trusted him, family who loved him, and a village who believed in him, and he wanted nothing more.

Calian desired the sea. He had his books, his maps, a promised spot on his father''s ship, and now with his spear and the authority to go, his world was open. His own adventure was just beyond the horizon, and he was ready to write it himself.

But when a young lord crashes offshore, and a race against time determines whether his life is forfeit or saved, they''re plunged into a world that had been nothing but story. As the shadow returns across Learsi, they discover that the legends they drew inspiration on are actually history, their nightmares are the reality the world is about to face, and their heroes are not distant figments, but rather closer than they thought.

In another part of the world, the fires of Malgalon awaken once more, and old heroes rise up one last time.

Are you ready?

When Darkness falls upon Learsi,

and nightmares take on form,

ten friends unite a shattered kingdom,

and forgotten Hope returns...

Trading his freedom for the freedom of his crew, Joshian sets forth from Ildice with news that could shock the world to its core. Taking a grateful reprieve at home, he learns of another truth that shakes him even more, yet puts things more into perspective.

Still, a man of honor and a man of his word, Joshian continues to Vandor, the capital of Ebaven, and there finds mixed blessings in gaining new allies and allegiances... but is forced to say goodbye as some are lost. With his task done, he returns to Ildice to complete his service, but there is hit with the greatest loss of them all. 

Elsewhere, the enemy''s forces are beginning to show, but the old warriors rise again. The hunt has begun.
