It's been twelve years since the Elf king and great protector, Paron Elloy, died fighting the Mother Dragon. He was the last of the Guardians of the Balance to fall. Since then the world has been weary under the weight of the twin prophecies; one foretelling the end of the world the other foretelling a possible salvation. Fear has been building since Paron's death. However, unbeknownst to all, a thirteen year old thief holds the keys to the prophecies, the elven throne, and a new generation of Guardians.
