The Dark Times are a whisper of a memory, of a time when Terrakuis was invaded by a vicious and merciless host, an army which tore through the continent like a vicious plague. However, after
being decimated in a battle seared on the souls of those left standing, the Kortoban army retreated to their homeland… Teran, his sister and their two friends are living a peaceful life until
their world is ripped apart when one of them is discovered to possess a rare and dangerous gift. Accompanied by two master magicians, Jacob, the wily Hunter of the Light and his much maligned
apprentice Eslin, they become embroiled in a conspiracy which leads them to unearth an even more horrific truth. The only object that can halt the impending destruction of not only their world,
but also the Light itself, is The Star of Boran, a gift from the gods. Hounded by those they fear and betrayed by those they should trust, their journey towards self-discovery ultimately turns
into one of self-preservation. The Shadow Moon is rising, an ominous warning that The Mistress of the Dark is gaining in power. Her army is set to march once again.
