Power in Gibrion is held in a delicate balance. Prince Vinadan, the lesser son of a benevolent king, holds the Soul of Aether, an ancient and powerful artefact, deep within the mountains of Aclevion. Its sister, the Soul of Hemera, is kept safe in the tranquil elven forests of Eonis.

When this tenuous peace is threatened, a traitor to Vinadan's cause must unite the insular and distrusting races of Gibrion under a single banner if they are to stop the ruthless prince's deadly plans.

Though Vinadan believes himself all-powerful, there remain older, darker powers in the world which even he does not understand, and his greatest trials may yet lay before him in this epic tale of high fantasy and dark magic.
