In the mountain village of Helkridge, young Aaroith lives a simple life under the care of his loving parents. But when a winter ambush leaves his mother dead and his father blinded, the boy is forced to carry a secret too heavy for any child. The villagers believe the attack came from the Elven Kingdom. But Aaroith remembers something else-something darker. As grief and guilt take root, Aaroith begins a journey that will unravel his family's past, test the strength of his soul, and awaken the truth of what he really is. This is not a story of heroes. This is the story of a boy with no place to call his own... and the burden he was never meant to bear.
