She knows the written word is far sharper than the sword. Rhiniya Luren is a highborn elf in the Low Forest regions. They're tasked with protecting the area and keeping everyone safe. But with the prison crumbling, it's getting harder and harder to maintain safety. There are fewer locations unaffected by the ur'gel horde. More refugees are flooding their borders. And the elven armies are preparing to gather. But Rhiniya knows that somewhere buried in their past, in their histories and stories, there's a clue on how they will win this war. Books and knowledge aren't just things for the weak. They're powerful weapons in and of themselves. But when she strikes out to seek that knowledge, her family pushes back, telling her to stay and marry and to create stronger alliances. She knows that isn't the path for her. Her story belongs in adventure. She was born for the hero tests. She just never dreamed the Library would be her challenge.

Frida Svand is a mighty warrior. And she might be the only warrior capable of saving the world. Frida Svand is one of three fierce warrior siblings, stranded on the brutal continent of Bruhier. Monsters live the forest below, and high "island" plateaus provide the only safety from above the clouds. It's a strange place, but the Svand siblings can survive almost anything. That is until they're asked to free a High Elf from the prison mine. The High Elves rule the sky islands and rarely even come down to the forest floor. It's a job the siblings refuse. Frida, however, sees it as one more way to thumb her nose at the local ruler, Stephan Luthair. He's a tyrant and the reason they've been trapped in this small, mining town instead of finding a ship to take them home. What she finds is a whole lot more than one lone elven prince. It might just be more than she can handle.

Frida knows she's not what others think. But she's the only one who knows the truth. The enemy now knows that Frida is Onen Suun's heir. She's reported to be the only person who can seal the prison and keep Dag'draath confined. But Frida knows the secret, the truth that no one is willing to repeat. She's not the heir. While she's desperately trying to locate the real heir, to find a real solution to keeping the prison closed, Dag'draath and his armies are rallying to kill her. It's going to take all of her might, all the experience of her siblings, and the skills of their elven prince to keep her alive. Before the Suun heir is broken.

Aria now knows that there's no plugging the hole in the prison. But that doesn't mean she's without a plan. Aria is finally feeling like she's figuring things out. At least, she's not fumbling her way through adventure as much anymore. At least there's that. But there is no way to reseal the prison. Too many ur'gel have escaped, making the breach even bigger. And the only thing they can do is to wait for Dag'draath to break out as well. They have no weapons against Dag'draath, though. He's a god of evil. In the fight before, they had Onen, the man of Light and everything good. There's no way to resurrect him. But she does have someone from the past who might have a solution their war that he doesn't even realize. In order for him to find that answer, though, Beru's soul needs to heal. He'd been tortured for two-hundred and fifty years. So, Aria's next mission is simple. Heal Beru. Then, figure out what the world needs to do in order to stand up against the greatest enemy they've ever faced.

She's dreamed of being a great warrior. Instead, she becomes her world's worst nightmare. Aria is living the life of a healer, a position that's been forced on her to keep her away from her dreamwalker abilities and her true desire of being a warrior. But there's one dream that refuses to leave her alone- a man in a barren landscape of sand and rocks and ur'gel, deadly creatures designed for war. But as she fights to learn how to hone her dreamwalker gifts in order to save this man who she feels an odd connection to, her world folds in around her. Her village is attacked and her brother is taken. The ur'gel demand one thing: bring Beru. The man from her dreams. But all the information she has about the man called Beru is that he was a traitor to the great hero, Onen Suun, who imprisoned the fallen over two centuries ago. If she frees this enemy in order to save her brother,how could she live with herself? But if she doesn't and her brother dies... Save her brother or start a war. The decision is hers.

She craved the adventure of a lifetime. She got it and it's much bigger than she ever dreamed. Everything Aria tried to do in order to save her brother and help those closest to her has made everything worse. She's now alone with Beru, trying to figure out a way to fix what they've done, to undo what they've started. But Aria still can't get over the fact that Beru is a traitor to Onen Suun, the only man who dared to defy Dag'draath. Beru was the reason Onen Suun was forced to sacrifice his life to save the world. But the more she learns about him, the more she realizes that maybe history got it wrong. Maybe the stories weren't quite true. Maybe Beru never betrayed the leader he so respected. As they run, trying to find a solution, Dag'draath releases a new danger from his prison, using the rift Aria created. If they can't find a solution soon, the prison will break, releasing the entire army buried within. Can Aria and Beru find the key to keeping the prison closed before Dag'draath, the dark god, unleashes his demon army?
