Trevor Karvine is the last of a line that was once Dragon Kings of Aetherian, or so he thinks. Fourteen years after the war that destroyed his family, he struggles to live under the rule of the new house ruling Aetherian, but dark forces are at work. Now, as a Guardian of Zenartha, he works and fights with his friends to find out the source of the darkness under Aetherian's capital city, as well as hoping to stop a war.
