Twenty years have passed since the end of the Great War and turmoil still surrounds the kingdom of Esogarth... Hungry for power and haunted by shadows, Lord Talbon Berd is intent on usurping King Jasper Ashton from the throne. But, an internal struggle with his own demons may lead the bold Lord Talbon Berd toward another, more sinister, destiny... Teala Berd's marriage to the lord of a southern house is met with contempt as she looks to escape the stronghold of her father and his idealistic plans for control over the realm. Bold, ambitious, and independent, Teala will learn her path lies further north- with those looking to thwart her father's evil plans... Adom Berd is the rightful heir to Port of Sighs, but his true calling awaits him on Wizard Island. The path is a dangerous one as he is asked to trust a man who was once sent to kill him. But, a chance meeting with a mysterious, elderly knight, helps guide them toward their true destinies... Prince Robert Ashton is noble, handsome, and kindhearted. Heir to the throne of Esogarth, Prince Robert Ashton patiently stands by his father and his kingdom when he is asked to accompany his friend on an unexpected trip, where he learns his journey has only just begun... Lynard Searon wants nothing more than to avoid the fate that awaits him as the son of a fisherman, so he sneaks aboard a ship sailing north. Little does Lynard know, that this decision will forever change the history of Esogarth... Meanwhile, far across the sea, a young girl with mysterious powers is learning her place among destinies that will cross paths, bringing forth the coming of the Dark Lord, unless this Advent of Storms can be prevented.
