An insidious evil spreads through the land, intent on overthrowing the true king. But when mysterious
messengers arrive, distributing maps and hidden messages, three teens find themselves engaged in
a battle where all is not as it seems.
Hugh, a blacksmith, experiences a trauma he cannot forget, for which a ruthless pursuit of revenge
is the only answer. Marie, a knight's daughter, is sent away by her family, a slight she sees as a
cruel abandonment. Her struggle to return transforms her. And Stephen, a fatherless
squire, struggles to master the requirements of knighthood until he is faced with a fateful choice on
the battlefield which could determine his future path.
As encroaching darkness threatens to consume the kingdom, each youth is propelled on a journey
where they are faced with life-defining decisions. United by unpredictable events, they chart a
course through danger, heartache, and doubt to find the true king, the only one they believe can
save them from the grip of an evil leader.
