When the Storm of War ravages his home, Arden, son of the Chieftain, learns that Destiny has chosen him and his young companions to embark on a journey of discovery.
A discovery as seen through the eyes of Hari, a boy who envies him, and Maedra, a girl who adores him; and the eyes of Kadrek and Dainzel of the warring elder races who become his allies, and of Okarg, his unwitting adversary.
From the frigid Northern Ice Wastes to the burning Southern Deserts, and the verdant Eastern Jungles to the lush Western Plains, Arden journeys in search of his abducted people.
This journey takes them through a world that is changing faster than any of them can fathom. And to face these changes, Arden and his friends too must change, in ways that none could have ever imagined.
Nine years have passed. Nine years since the Chosen Seven of Legend were reborn, and nine years since their legend once again brought hope to a world that is dying. Yes, the Evil that sought to tyrannize all life nine years ago was never truly defeated, but merely delayed.
Once more the Evil is rearing its ugly head, bringing new life to millennia old enmities and sowing discord amongst new forged alliances. The ancient elder races of the Alvaine and the Diabane are on the brink of another Great War.
The Chosen Seven of Legend are divided. The Bolt Thrower and the Arc Lighter are on opposite sides once more. The Sceptre of Eternity is lost and with it is all hope that the Chosen promised when they were reborn those nine years ago.
