Minisc Premier has never wanted to be like his father. Most kids would kill to have the Hero of Light, the most famous Elementalist in history, as their dad. Minisc hates the pressure though, and wants only to bring his mother's dying wish to life: unity and peace between humans and Elementalists, the recently evolved species capable of controlling and wielding elements such as light, fire, and water.

But peace doesn't come easy. With the Hero of Light out of the picture and tensions rising, Minisc is forced into a role he never asked for. However, despite that, he is determined to see it through to the end. But unknown to Minisc, while he struggles to adapt to his new goal, something dangerous is brewing beneath the surface—something that could shatter both worlds.
