In our world, nearly anything can get you killed, or something worse. And trying to prevent it will only seal your fate.
Deltona has been under the rule of the Löthr for decades - although the Löthr have been around for much longer than that. They are people who can take the wills and minds of other people. Those under the Löthr's control are the 'Taken', empty husks who were once humans. The Löthr see all. They hear all. They know all.
So in this world of evil, how do you survive?
I'll tell you.
Meet Cole, Celia, Lisa, Jacaline, and King. They bear the Black Circle, the mark of the Heroes of Old, and are suddenly pushed into a reality with a whole lot of responsibility. They have a centuries-old heritage: a power that can stop the Löthr once and for all. But these particular heroes have come from nothing. They are nothing.
Will a bunch of misfits and low lives finish an ancient evil? You'll have to find out.

Long ago, before the Dragon Empire rose to power, the world was guided by the Azena - a lineage of guardians born with the ability to breathe the elements, read the stars, and restore balance to all things.

Now, the three must journey across the fractured world, searching for allies, unlocking Delaaran's memories, and preparing him for the battle to come.
