The island of Perhijou is rumored to appear in the sky on the eve of the goddess, Stormheart's arrival. The goddess' arrival only occurs when the mortal world is at the height of its achievement. And when she leaves... Her twin brother comes out to play... Ator is known by the mortals on earth as the destroyer. Or better yet, Darkness. The mortal world, being what it is has not seen the goddess Stormheart in millennia- until a fifteen year old girl senses a presence. Knowing the desperation of the young planet's inhabitants, Stormheart risks her brother's wrath and calls out to the mortal with the darkest heart- Aspen. Little does Stormheart know, her actions will have more consequences than she imagined. When Ator realizes that Aspen is the Darkling needed to secure the darkness, he also realizes that his traitorous sister got to Aspen first... And the epic battle between light and darkness rages on.
