For three hundred years, the people of the Five Realms have
lived in relative peace, protected by their great leader, the Archon. Yet, far
to the north in the frozen lands, the Ruuk stir, driven by a rising evil; long

role following the death of her father, and Toryn, a farmworker and outsider in
his village, must discover a way to fight an enemy that all but defeated their ancestors.
