The kingdom of Elarda suffers under a tyrant’s rule. The few who hold to the words of the Forbidden Book and belief in the Creator often pay for it with their lives. The true heir to the throne is lost… or so it is believed. But a group of Rangers still search, believing that, somewhere, the true heir lives. Brielle Fletcher lives in a little stone house in the little village of Glenville in the kingdom of Elarda. She has always wondered about the scar on her face and the color of her eyes and why it is so important to never go near the garrison or any soldiers. She also wonders about the believers in the Creator; why they are willing to die for what they believe. Then, one day, she learns the truth. But it will cost her more than she ever could have imagined. She embarks on a dangerous journey across a desert with her younger siblings, not knowing that their trek across the desert will awaken an evil that has long been asleep.
