In a world where ancient magic and royal bloodlines intertwine, six friends discover that destiny has a way of finding those who least expect it. Alex, Chloe, Kj, Deacon, Rachel, and Mia are ordinary high school students-until one fateful field trip changes everything.
While visiting a museum, they stumble upon a hidden exhibit housing ancient weapons once wielded by legendary knights. As they draw near, something strange happens: the weapons begin to pulse with an eerie energy, seemingly calling to them. Each weapon responds to its destined wielder, and in an instant, they are bound to a powerful legacy.
Unbeknownst to them, these artifacts are the remnants of an age-old battle, forged in the fires of elemental magic. Long ago, a group of royal families discovered the power to control the elements: Earth, Fire, Water, Air, Shadow, and Lightning. But when a tragic war split the kingdoms and scattered their legacy, these weapons were lost to history.
Now, the Elemental Knights have returned, chosen to protect the balance of their world. As Alex, Chloe, Kj, Deacon, Rachel, and Mia learn to harness their newfound powers, they must face fierce beasts, ancient curses, and enemies from the past determined to reclaim the magic that once ruled the kingdoms.
With their lives changed forever, the friends must navigate their new roles as warriors, uncovering hidden truths and confronting the forces that threaten their world's very existence. Their journey is only beginning, and with it comes a responsibility they never could have imagined: to become the next generation of Elemental Knights.
Two hundred years of peace have passed in Zertima, a land filled with magic, creatures, and mages. However, after those two hundred years comes an era of fear, fighting, and death. The Venom's Curse, known as the world's greatest danger, has climbed up to reach a level of great power, with the help of his fierce hunger for battle and commanding, that is strong enough to possibly secure his rule of the entire mage world.
In order to save Zertima from potential collapse and eternal perishing, four young mages are found, called the Elemental Mages. The Mages - Water, Earth, Fire, and Air - are taken to a sheltered location named the Mage Sanctuary to train together and prepare for their eventual battle with the Venom's Curse and to rid of the trepidation he has cast across all of Zertima. However, not all of the Mages are willing to commit their life to train with the others and help save the mage world.
Ignacia, the Elemental Mage of Fire, is the newest and last mage to be Founded and come to the others. Along with easily getting into arguments with Water Mage Salil, she is in an internal battle with herself trying to decide what choice she should really choose to carry through with.
