The world’s old Gods lie dormant, imprisoned for centuries in a timeless rift. For many years they have accepted the fate of their actions, yet the people who still roam freely have not. A small sect of fanatical magicians, led by Bellack, a sinister and heartless spell weaver have not forgotten the powers that the old Gods once possessed and seek to secure their God Queen’s release to gain both her love and immortality. With the discovery of a large crystal deep in the Tanarian mines, the sect believes it has found a catalyst for their powers to break free their Queen. They will stop at nothing to acquire the crystal and, after their offers are refused, drag nations to war for their dark aim. Using their magic to tip the scales of war in their favour they force an order of Generals, the Su-Katii warrior elite to their will, as they alone will hold the key to victory in this war.

For they will be the first to face the stirrings of evil, just as it was a thousand years ago.

Yet, with faith in the legend all but extinguished, the Dragon has remained dormant in the perilous mountains for eons. In a desperate bid to save the kingdom, the king turns to Alina, a seemingly inconsequential servant girl who hides a secret lineage tied to the royal bloodline.
