Armed only with an ancient sword, the wise words of an aged Court Physician for guidance, and the loyalty of his faithful wolf companion, Aren will now have to traverse the great, but dangerous lands of the Kingdom in search of powerful masters of magic while caught up in a vicious struggle between a dark Priestess and an unkillable guardian. Can Aren take up the mantle of the legendary Toa warriors? The fate of the Kingdom . . . and perhaps the world . . . may rest in his hands.
