When an evil king discovers a mysterious black sword hidden in a cave, it releases a dark and mysterious power on one side of the world and a light power on the other. The dark power enables the king to succeed where before he consistently failed, and he begins to assemble a powerful army.
Meanwhile, the light power enters a baby boy born to the king and queen of the recently united Seven Kingdoms. Ari, a gifted healer and friend to the queen, recognizes what has happened immediately and has the boy sent away for his own safety. Living in obscurity for over two decades, the boy, now a man, is finally summoned to fulfill his destiny as the chosen one who will save the Seven Kingdoms from the terrible power unleashed by the black sword.
Before that can happen, however, not only must he accept his destiny, he must also learn how to manipulate "ladinya," the essence from which all things are made. With the forces of evil seeking to thwart his training at every turn, it is only a matter of time before he must stand and face the darkness, before it cover the world completely.
