Alex never thought of himself as a hero. He thought he'd live his entire life in relative ease-- nothing out of the ordinary ever happens to him. Then his world was turned upside down. The people of Amoria are vanishing and Alex's Dad was one of the first to go. Alex doesn't know what to think but he knows that there is something happening in the Winter kingdom that is beyond his understanding. Then ten years after his Father's disappearance his Mother goes missing as well. Alex embarks on a journey to find the missing but gains more than he bargained for when he enters the Dark Forest. Alex finds himself in a situation unlike any he has ever faced before and must make decisions that not only effect him but that of his new 'family' as well. Alex may have never imagined himself as a hero, but now he has no choice but to become one or all of Amoria will face the same fate.
