In a time when sorcery and black magic ruled the will of man, a flame within a long forgotten people was once again ignited. It is evident from his growing desire to wield a sword that Chael's life as a farmer's son will never be enough. With his sister Taelarae, he makes the long journey to Darvenlure. That is where they meet Iniquitous, a charming sorcerer with the power of black magic and the disposition of pure evil. When Taelarae goes missing, Chael soon realizes that it is the work of this malevolent sorcerer. Frantically he begins his long quest for the one person he vowed to his father he would keep safe. Along the way, he comes to realize that he is indeed more than just a farmer's son. With battles fought against one adversary more powerful than the last while wielding one of the finest swords ever forged, he rouses within many desolate Sages a desire to survive left dormant for many centuries. With the help of Kaelon, Telaena, Shan Taen and Gheldorh, his newly made friends on the journey to save his sister, Chael begins to unlock the secret behind the true meaning of the Warrior Sage that will bring about a realization that they are not only friends but share an age old bond of blood. And with this new found awareness they ride to Nay lore, the forbidden home of Iniquitous, to battle for the safe return of Taelarae and discover that she holds the key to their very existence.
