When the kingdom of Azurelith falls to a rising darkness, sixteen-year-old Kade arrives too late to save the man who gave him a home. With his dying breath, Crane leaves Kade with a final mission: find Ronan, the legendary Storm King and last of the Realmguardians-because he may be the only one powerful enough to stop the evil spreading across the realms.
Kade journeys to Edenreach, the last surviving kingdom, hoping the old legends are true. But the city is filled with frightened refugees, rumors of war, and the approaching threat of Yura-a powerful Realmguardian who has already destroyed entire kingdoms.
As darkness rises and secrets begin to unfold, Kade must face the mysterious power growing within him because the greatest threat to the realms may not just be the enemy outside the gates...
In a world where legends have faded, one boy may be forced to become one.
