A world in ruins. A forbidden attraction. A prophecy that will bring them to their knees. Warring gods ruined the once abundant world of Raashan. Now, the war is long over, but the gods are all dead leaving Raashan to wither away along with all who inhabit it. Captain of the Guard for the Aranni elf tribe, Darian, fears his tribe may not survive. He decides to pursue a legend of an ancient wizard's stone that could hold the power to save his people, maybe even the world. Willing to risk everything, he gathers warriors and embarks on his quest. A rebellious elf maiden named Eithne, whose sister Darian is courting for marriage, is desperate to escape her suffocating village existence. She secretly follows him when he leaves on his quest. By the time he discovers her following his party, it is too late to return her to the safety of the Aranni village. Darian is forced to bring the headstrong Eithne with him. Eithne is too naive to realize it, but there is no turning back to the life she once knew. While in pursuit of the legendary stone, the friendship between Darian and Eithne develops into something more. Darian begins to realize that he may have picked the wrong sister, while Eithne wrestles internally between loyalty to her family and her growing attraction to Darian. They are joined on their journey by new companions, but their quest takes a wild turn when they encounter a powerful wizard with a disquieting prophecy - a prophecy that presents the companions with a responsibility they are not ready to accept. Torn between love and duty, family and self, chaos and order, can these uncommon heroes be the salvation Rashaan needs - or will they die along with the world they are trying to save? ¿¿¿¿¿ "Elves, fairy tales, post-apocalyptic worlds, and warring gods.
