Those who stayed true to the Light though, live by prophecies handed down generation to generation, for they know the real test is yet to come.

When Darkness falls without reprieve
and the Hearts of good men quail.
When Nightmare walks the Ways at will,
Courage and Hope will fail.

From out the Wood where Light endures
Will come the One at need.
On Razer's edge will Deeds be judged
and the Fate of all Decreed.

In the first volume of this epic struggle, young Alaena and her companions must overcome all obstacles and survive to find and accept legacies left for them a millennia ago by Masters who bent the powers of Light and Lore to their will.

Can she and her companions recover powers lost in time and use them to claim their birth rights before Evil can plunge Earth into darkness once more?
