With the end of summer fast approaching, Dave and Athena finally manage to acquire their new house in the fortress town of Sunsrest. As they receive an unexpected phone call, the pair are confronted with a few much-welcomed surprises as well as a few more clues that may help them in achieving their destinies. However, due to a certain bit of unsettling information gained from reading Guinevere Blackington's journal, their future seems to have become much more obscure than it once appeared to be.

Join Dave, Athena, and Hunter as they read through the journal of a servant girl named Guinevere Burnell. Her story takes place in the year 1527 as she recounts the voyage of the young nobleman named Collins Blackington to the new world and the founding of the stronghold known as Lena's Pride which would later become the town of Sunsrest. They will face many hardships in the years to come as they learn about the mysterious wolf folk and the demonic creatures known as the shaded that reside in this mysterious new land.

As summer approaches, the threat posed by the shaded grows more and more dire. After Dave's boss, Eddy becomes afflicted with a seemingly incurable death curse that would normally kill its victim after five days, Athena and Dave decide to track down the Royal Guardian scholar known as Hunter in an attempt to save him. This task, however, may prove to be much more difficult than they had initially expected.
