The kingdom of Stor'orm, left without a king, struggles to find someone willing to pick up the crown. The old line and the new struggle to fill the void and place themselves on the throne. Threats from without and within, threaten the newly won peace while an ancient evil resurfaces in the mountains. Feeding on the souls of innocents, the Dark One's hunger is insatiable, leaving the fate of Stor'orm to one small boy and his mentor's master plan.
