Enesfel had known peace for eleven years. The reign of Arlan Lachlan ushered in a period of prosperity the kingdom had not enjoyed since the days of Kings Innis and Donal. In Rhidam, Kavan's life settled into a comfortable routine of music and the tutoring of the royal Lachlan children, an effort to hide, to leave the epitaphs of miracle-worker and saint behind.

A specter from the past, however, brings with it a rumor, and King Arlan is forced to reconcile history with the future if Enesfel is to maintain stability throughout the Five Sovereignties.

As Enesfel prepares for war, Kavan is pulled from his King's side by a frantic race against destiny to protect the lives of innocent children...for only Kavan has any hope of thwarting the path the Sight has stretched out before him...while bringing him face to face with a secret buried in Elyria's antiquity and opening a portal perhaps better left closed.
