Eldavain has been ruled by a generation of darkness. Lord Revvik oversees all from his place in the Black Tower, keeping his people obedient and without magic thanks to the cruel hand of his dark knights and their wretched wraiths. In the small, outlying town of Tiggil, young Besrymir grows up with the sea outside his window. How he came to be there, what the two crystals on his forearms are, and what he is-aside from half elf-remains a mystery to him. In his search for answers, he finds sanctuary and knowledge in the mountain kingdom of the stone giants. Here he attends Stone Academy and begins to uncover some of his own unique abilities, leaving him with even more questions than when he arrived. The resistance is finally gathering momentum as Besrymir accepts his place among their ranks. Has he learned enough to make a difference? Or will he be a beacon for dark forces to destroy everything and everyone he loves?
