For millennia, Tol has known peace, but now ancient fears resurface as the northern empire of Nordinium invades the Southlands. Amidst the chaos, two young orphans, Perrin and Bren, are thrust into a struggle far beyond their understanding. Sent to the remote village of Hightop, they unknowingly hold the key to the resistance.

Martyn, a seemingly inconsequential tinker with a dubious reputation, is assigned an impossible task: to liberate the Southlands from the oppressive Brocken soldiers. With his uncanny ability to appear in multiple places at once, he must unite the fractured Southlands under a single banner. Allies emerge in unexpected forms, including the elusive elf huntress Chelke, and the legendary wolf riders led by Devron and Varellon.

As Martyn navigates the dangers of the occupied territories and works to form alliances, he uncovers a deeper threat involving northern mages’ treachery. The real battle looms ahead, as enemies must unite to harness the power needed to push back the darkness. The fate of Tol rests on the rise of the seven ancient warriors, the uniting of the Southlands prince with the Elven heir and revealing the legendary sword, Light Bearer - Chaos Cleaver.

Will the fragile peace hold, or will the ancient threat engulf Tol once more?
