Gornia and Sarcus had been at peace for over a hundred years since the Great War, but peace wouldn't last much longer since the powerful black magician, Druck, took control of Sarcus from his weak father. Black Magic had been outlawed after the war, but Druck studied the dark arts in hiding with the help of an old councilman who wanted revenge against Gornia. Together, they renewed the darkest of magic in order to put the entire world under the dark clouds of tyranny and slavery. Lord Nilet, the most powerful magician in Gornia, sensed the dark arts, and he made a "diplomatic" journey to Druck's castle to find out exactly what Druck was up to. He found the answers, but before he could slip away, Druck struck him with powerful magic, and the elderly magician had to protect himself from forces he had never seen before. Lord Nilet's entourage narrowly escaped Druck, and before the last guard died from an incineration spell, Lord Nilet was put into the hands of the local Healer and his son. How will Gornia survive Druck's wrath? It all begins in the small village of Heshire with a young Magician and an apprentice Healer. They don't know the challenges ahead. Friends will become enemies, spies are all around, and Druck's magic is deceptive and confusing. They have just a few days to take action, or Druck will run a dark spear through the heart of their country.
