Five hundred years ago, creatures known as Lotarians invaded the Four Kingdoms and began to tear the Realm apart. Harnessing the power of Kenisis, the ancient Shaitae engaged them in battle, and the Shadow War began. With the combined might of the Shaitae and the Masters, a fierce fighting force, the Lotarians were driven from the Realm. Centuries have passed, and the events of the Shadow War have been lost to the pages of history. However, away in the North the shadows are stirring. The Lotarians have returned. The fate of the Realms rest in the hands of a girl with no faith and a boy with a vengeful heart.
