When unimaginable evils rise to threaten the world, a sisterhood of watchful maidens call forth a hero to wield the magical Titangavel, one of the five legendary Aurora Arms, and recruit a team of knights to defend all mankind. So it has been for a thousand years. Ria, the Oracle of the Arms, senses a great danger on the horizon, and she expects to uphold the tradition she holds dear, but King Magnus Vatri refuses to make things so simple. Prince Darius Vatri, Magnus' son, craves thrill and battle, but knows it is his destiny to stay safely on his throne and lead his people. A twist of fate thrusts this young, brash prince into command over the very Knights he idolizes. When the burdens of leadership grow heavy, he'll be forced to decide exactly where his loyalties lie.
