When has a world not struggled between the deception of Shadow and the deliverance of Light? Every world, real or ever imagined, encounters this conflict. It matters not its landscape or its place in the stars, for it is in the territory of Man's souls where it is fought most fiercely. The First Realm has been forgotten. The Old World crumbled from within, leaving a fledgling New World were the age old struggle between Shadow and Light persists. The Firstborn Guardians of Man have been relegated to tales. The reach of Ved-ohl, the Shadow Lord, grows. Man's hope of redemption wanes. Yet there is still the Prophecy which promises salvation if only the One can be found. Twin sisters, Awyn and Dara, have forgotten the existence of each other. Stolen by her mother and hidden away, Awyn has led a solitary life which suddenly becomes fraught with portents and reawakened memories. She finds herself propelled down a path which points her to Turrenah, the Place of Beginning. Her heritage begins to assert itself and a Healer is awakened, one with an unusual ability. Raised as the next heir to Anuera, Dara bides her time. Ultimately, she abandons her people to search for her father. Lord Alaren Haight rode out to find his wife and daughter, never to return. Yet the Prophecy will engulf her as well and deal her a ruthless blow. A Warrior is awakened, one who battles herself most of all. Their heritage is the key to the Prophecy. Different paths will lead to the same truths; the identity of the Shadow Lord and the One who can challenge him. The margin between Shadow and Light is called choice. Which will they choose?
