The kingdom of Istamid is under the tyrannical rule of dragons, but there are still places where the dragons' presence isn't felt so strongly. One such place is the mountain village of Arlow. However, the residents of the village have problems of their own. Namely, the violent snowstorms. Everyone aside from Rhenor seems to think that they will blow over and that they just have to wait it out, but Rhen suspects there is something more going on. His concerns fall on deaf ears until a stranger named Kaz shows up at his door, who not only believes Rhen, but also reveals an even bigger threat looming over Arlow-earthquakes. Despite Rhen's reservations about how Kaz knows this, the two embark on a quest to put a stop to whatever is causing all of this and save Arlow before it becomes nothing but rubble.

People are afraid of the power that he himself barely understands, seeing his shadows as omens of bad luck and death.
