This is a story of longing...longing to be loved, respected, admired. Mortimer is alone. He is far away from his mother. Gwendolyn has escaped to find her grandfather, and Eonder, Mortimer's father-figure, has abandoned him. Mortimer no longer wears the golden helmet Eonder gave him to keep his thoughts clear. Mortimer is now susceptible to the enticement and allure of Queen Valora. Valora will stop at nothing to seize the Western Kingdom. Her spies, pawns and minions are spread throughout the land. Ghimel, her advisor, hates Mortimer and blames him for the death of his twin, Gharma. Mortimer succumbs to the wiles of Valora and willingly leads a band of her troops to retrieve the crown of glory that rests on the pile of gold in Gharma's cave. It is on this journey that Mortimer meets Eonder in the Willow Grove. Eonder's words disturb Mortimer, and force him to ask the one question that Queen Valora despises. The Queen's tirade scares Mortimer. When a mysterious note arrives telling Mortimer his life is in danger, he flees the White Castle at midnight. It is on this new journey that Mortimer will be offered redemption and the chance to fulfill his destiny.

As the crew of The Morning Star battles crashing waves and a storm of monumental proportions, Leviathan, ancient serpent of the Sea, rises from the ocean depths to capsize the ship. But when a crew member commands the serpent to return from where he came, a young sailor named Mortimer breathes a sigh of relief, for now the ship will make it to its destination of Barwick’s Bay where Mortimer must fulfill his destiny—a story foretold in the stars. As soon as the ship glides into the bay, Mortimer is gifted with the vest of honor, worn by only the most trusted servants of King William. But will the vest be enough to save him from the deadly assassins and dark forces who not only seek his powerful sword, but also his life? As the Western Lands are propelled closer and closer to war, Mortimer soon discovers that the events from his past are what will determine his future. Within the walls of an ancient castle ruin, Mortimer finally discovers the source of power for his sword—just as the dark forces gather for one final showdown and a fierce battle for his soul.
