Landon spends his days as a poor peasant farmer in a forgettable corner of The Realm. But when his twentieth birthday arrives, he receives three gifts each with the power to change his life forever. One in particular, an inheritance ring with a cryptic riddle from his deceased father, holds an ancient power that could bring about the end of the world if fallen into the wrong hands. He must set out on a journey to unlock the ring's secrets. Unwittingly caught up in the politics of the world, Landon must discover the power to his ring and learn the secrets his father intended him to know, all the while avoiding the ever gazing eye of Lord Malchus' sinister lieutenant.
