A young traveler is taken under the wing of the greatest smith in the entire world, who rumors had told could create life itself.
Locke, a young lone traveler, never had any place to call home. No matter where he went, and no matter how kindly he would act, the world didn't seem to have any place for him. His biggest burden, was the noticeable scar he had to follow him. For many years, he had walked without a left arm.
His travels take him to a seemingly small village of Jaren - an old settlement from after the frequent wars with the Northmen. Upon his arrival, he felt compelled to seek employment with the Lifesmith, who was apparently searching for a new assistant.
With nothing left to lose nor expect, Locke is shocked when he is offered the position. He becomes further shocked when the smith, Amery Warmheart the Third, crafts an entirely new arm to replace the one he had lost ages ago. Such an offer quickly seemed far too much for him to be able to repay.
While discovering how Locke can truly repay his debt and fulfill his role as the Lifesmith's apprentice, as well as discovering just what a Lifesmith is truly capable of, Alvina, princess of the endangered race of Elves, escapes captivity. Her previous captor, Adrian, has her mother, the queen, captive in hopes of marrying her, claiming it to be for the good of her entire endangered species. With their backs against the wall for so many decades, it's a great risk for the sake of her people.
All that and more, in this newly crafted story on Wattpad! Note that names and certain elements are certainly subject to change as the series progresses.
When Raiden is told by the Sage Witches he must kidnap Trifica Larkin for the sake of their world he sighs a bit, complains a bit more, but ultimately accepts the task-as he always does. Guilt has a funny way of making him feel obligated. However, this job isn't like all the others and not just because Trifica reminds Raiden of his old love who died centuries ago.
This time, the job means all of creaturekind will perish if he fails. It doesn't help that along the way his ring-the sole item capable of keeping him alive-becomes broken, that a shadow wolf war is about to begin, or that their enemy seems to know horrible truths about himself he'd buried so deeply he had nearly forgotten.
Trifica, however, finds herself quite pleased to be kidnapped. She's sick of being a Kalied, the second lowest of all species. She wants to flee from her mother's disapproving glare and if she has to travel with Raiden across the Realm as they try to avoid dying, so be it.
Except the closer Trifica and Raiden get to the Sage Witches, where safety and answers await them, the more questions and danger they realize lies ahead.
