Deep in the Ilen'dril forest, four elves began their trial to become guardians of their treetop village. When news arrived that their home had been invaded by the undead, they raced back to find their blackened bodies burning in pyres. An initiate named Fayne had rushed to his lovers room to discover her dead, a clean cut across her throat. Finding a mysterious note on her body, he must now become the apprentice to a necromancer if he is to revive his fallen love. Can he withstand the corruption of the dark arts in a mission to resurrect her, or will he succumb to evil?
