War, suffering, and darkness have spread across the land, but deep within the Skylore Woods, hidden from the world outside, a secret band of exiled youths has grown.

When a chance encounter brings Edgar face-to-face with a mysterious benefactor, his world is thrown into turmoil. Torn between the safety of his hidden home and the call of destiny, he must embark on a perilous quest to uncover an ancient artifact. One with the power to challenge Zalvareth himself! As dark forces stir and secrets unravel, Edgar must decide: will he remain in the shadows, or will he rise to reclaim the future stolen from his people?
