When young Andra is included as a Guardian of the Vale, his newly acquired warrior skills are put to the test. He is conscripted into the vast armies of Great King Thana and marched north to wage war against the barbaric Haagii who are marauding throughout the land. But a far greater evil threatens as forces of darkness are unleashed upon the world by the Great King's Advisor, A Ahmud Ki. Once a simple youngling, Master Ki is now a mindtouching sorcerer, driven by hatred and greed and ready to challenge even the awesome Dragon Lords in his quest for absolute power.
A Ahmud Ki's magic releases an unspeakable, ancient evil from a secret chamber designed to contain its malevolent power. Good succumbs to evil, and the world is plunged into Darkness. Marked with the crescent-moon scar foretold in the Dragon War prophesies, but unaware of his destiny, Andra finds himself caught up in the maelstrom of events that bring the Kingdom's forces into bloody conflict with the devastating might of the Dragon Lords.
