A journey of magic and discovery continues in book two as the mysteries of an ancient world, and a heritage long lost to antiquity, begin to unfold. A demon vanquished in the Dwarven lands of the Shornhen by a mysterious arc is only the beginning as an old wizard and a young lad from the parched desert of the Pit-lands try to begin to unravel the lost magics and the hidden powers that have brought them to this point. The battle with the demon Amrok has torn a rift in the magics of the Dwarven lands and they must now seek a way to heal the Sessile Ri, the golden tree at the center of their world. To fail means losing its powers forever, and possibly the last hope for the wizard to revive a world walked by elves.
