A princess and her personal guards fighting to stop a war, arrested for trespassing; an expert assassin stalking a merciless wizard, arrested for poaching; and a confused boy, utterly lost and severely concussed, arrested for failing to adequately explain who he was or how he came to be lying in a sizable crater.

Without the cores, life in the Elemental kingdoms comes to a halt. This is the story of the Sky Kingdom. In Sky City, every household knows the tale of the Elementalist. The Elementalist is the only individual who can use the powers from not one, but all four of the Elemental cores in each kingdom. While his destiny is to unite the four Elemental kingdoms, if this power were to fall into the wrong hands, the kingdoms could be destroyed forever.

Together with his friends Wade and Fred, Ben fights to relight the four cores... but Viktor Krane isn't far behind... With the Elemental kingdoms counting on him, can Ben relight the core of Sky City, return the peoples' powers, and live up to the destiny of a true Elementalist?
