Lord of the Rings meets Knights of the Roundtable in this epic new saga from bestselling author Matthew Wolf. When legends come to life the world trembles from a single name. Ronin. Once-heroes from a different age, they wield elemental powers... wind, water, fire, stone, forest, sun, moon, flesh, and metal. At the same time, a young man discovers his best friend with a sword in her stomach, and dark wings sprouting from her back. Guards rush onto the scene, accuse him of the act, and he is forced to flee. In a new world without his memories, Gray must find his way amid legends and darkness, as he wrestles with an elemental power inside himself. A power all too similar to the infamous Ronin...

The Empire of Corvax brought the Kingdom of Arton to its knees, exiling its king, Konrad, and sending its prince into obscurity. Ten years after the fall of Arton, the prince, Jonathan Stafford, receives a letter from his exiled brother, sending Stafford and his family to Mt. Coronac. Konrad needs to regain his throne, but it would be tough to drive out the deadly and massive ranks of the Raven-King Kyran Corvax. Stafford's son, Edwin, trains with Konrad's adviser and general, Lubek Beringer. Two years pass, and the Konrad's camp is peaceful. That is, until the sound of marching approaches camp. The Corvax army ambushes the camp and harms many, including the king. From there, Edwin leads the villagers to a camp next to Lake Coronac with the help of Japheth and his sister, Gwyneth. Troubles lie ahead for the Crown Prince. And with it, war. Who will rise to the top and claim the throne? Or keep it?
