Ederfill trembles. A kingdom long plagued by unrest now faces its greatest challenge as mounting disturbances culminate in open rebellion, shaking its foundations to the core.

This ignites a devastating conflict with their determined leaders, figures from his own past who plan to champion their freedom at all costs.For Nerlan, the battle lines are drawn directly through his heart. Torn between his brother's reign and Kiuren's fight for justice, the weight of their opposing causes threatens to sunder his deepest bonds. And with the rising tide of this conflict, Nerlan fears the fragile peace of his dwarven home, Driukin, may shatter once more, drawing his weakened tribe into a war they cannot possibly win.The Western Stones of Dutdaret and Mindatril surge within them even stronger now, granting control over earth and flora. Yet their divine nature encroaches, demanding a terrifying price. The Stones are not just tools; they are destinies, eclipsing the twins' mortality and pushing them to their breaking points, all without them knowing.As a shadowy evil gathers its forces once more, promising to undo everything they've fought for, Nerlan and Adelus must face not only the burgeoning war threatening to engulf their world but the devastating personal cost of leadership and loyalty. Can they survive the profound losses this conflict demands, and reclaim their identities from the very power meant to save them?
