The world of Invetia stood on the precipice of war. The Sario were mysteriously dying and few now remain. They carry the last chance of salvation for the land of Invetia and should they fail, then there would be nothing left to hold back the return of an ancient evil that had stood waiting in the shadows of history. Sam Meridith's world, by contrast, was mundane. Working in a Solicitor's office for the past three years had managed to almost eradicate any dreams of the life of wonder and excitement that he had once envisaged. The world now found him alone. His Mother had passed away just a few months ago and he had never known his Father. He had few friends, in fact he had just one, Anna. Unbeknownst to Sam, his world was about to change as the sudden appearance of the last remaining Sario, Ruern, brought news of a perilous journey that his destiny demanded that he undertook.
