Vicious creatures devestate their quiet mountain home and shatter their peaceful existence. An army of Turak Raiders marches against Ridgetown in search of a terrible weapon that once belonged to a great and powerful Warlord.

So while the nobles and warriors of the Free-lands bicker amongst themselves over trivial matters of power, and as an army of vengeful Turaks marches in war, Sheldyyn struggles to survive his own battle with an ancient force dwelling inside of him that he can neither control or accept. The Balance has been swayed. Either it will be restored, or all living creatures will be submerged into darkness and despair.
