The Age of Immortals has passed and the legendary mortals of the Heroic Age are at rest in the Underworld. In the 2nd Age of the Earth Realm, fifty years after the Immortal's War, there is a darkness that is growing stronger as the light of hope slowly fades. In a world without heroes, if the darkness consumes the Earth Realm, the Dark Immortals will reign supreme over the entire cosmos.

Book I begins the saga of the Champion of Light's journey in becoming the hero who will challenge the Dark Immortals to maintain the cosmic balance between good and evil; light and darkness.
