In the Perian Empire, all magic is outlawed. This has been the rule since the dawn of the first Perian Kings, since before the Empire was born, but when legend tells of a group of champions chosen by the gods, the Empire must find them before their enemies do. Crown Prince Adrian Avitus, eager to prove his worth as the heir to the Empire's throne, sets out to find these Chosen Few, but the rebels of the east aren't the only ones searching for them as well. Enemies of legend, of history, are rising to lay claim to the Chosen Few's godly power and take down the Perian Throne, and it's up to Adrian and the Few themselves to stop them.
