The Golden Valley is in chaos. What should have been a peaceful refuge from war has turned into a miasma of misery and oppression. The church has betrayed the people, Javis most of all. With the help of his friends, Arianna, Tyr and Bloodstone, Javis must find a way to right the wrongs of his faith and put the rightful leader back into power. Once they find him, that is… Drane Khal'Tara wanders the world, a voluntary outcast from his own people. Sick of the treachery and lies of his homeland, he has spent years on the surface, seeking beauty and peace. On a whim of nostalgia, he heads toward his home only to find himself embroiled in a fight between darkness and light. Strangers are his only hope of finding the truth. Dare he trust them?
