Alona and Ryde have grown up in the Rin forest, awaiting the day they would be apprenticed. Now as this day finally comes, they arrive at the city of the Rini people to find it in ruins. Now, on the run and desperate to find who was behind the attack, they arrive at the city of Umbra- the ancient enemies of the Rini people. Now their only hope is to find the heart of Cel'weth, an emerald rumoured to bring wisdom, before The Nameless One does.
