In a sacred circle between the planes, Zelia and Ares are to be united in wedlock. Elementals mix with humans in a ceremony, set to dazzle the eye, but chaos ensues when the fire elementals escape onto the mortal plane and rage unchecked across the southern continent. When their watery and airy cousins join them the delicate balance between the planes is disturbed, and the fabric of magic torn asunder. As time shifts out of sequence and the cycle of the seasons are disrupted, Zelia and Ares must once more combine forces to return order to the land or risk its utter destruction.
