When magic threads monsters, what kind of nightmare does it weave? Tobias Farrow has been nothing more than an orphaned farmhand his whole life. That all changes when one day he is gifted the Sapphire of the Sea, a puzzling gem that can reshape one's fate. Clutching its cool surface, Tobias is taken to Cairnholm, a bustling and famed kingdom, where he must train restlessly for his journey to Vermaroth. As steel clashes and magic crackles, Tobias's heart is torn in two: one piece towards Willow, his devoted consort and daughter of an insufferable boron; the other towards Princess Evelyne, Cairnholm's benevolent heiress and ally to Tobias. Yet looming over his every step is Umbra, the merciless Liege of Shadows. Should Tobias fail to claim victory over him, Cairnholm, and the fragile bonds of love he forges, will be swallowed by eternal darkness.
