A thousand years ago, Amarid and Theron found crystals in Tobin Ser that gave their owners magical powers. Together they founded an Order dedicated to serving the good of the people. But Theron could not resist the temptations of power and was expelled from the Order. Since then, the Sons of Amarid have loyally and selflessly defended their people. And now the peace in Tobin-Ser is broken. Traitor mages capture cities and kill innocent people. It is rumored that Theron himself has risen from the dead to lead the rebels. The young but powerful magician Jarid is sent into the thick of bloody and mysterious events. Only he alone can still manage to save what the Sons of Amarid have defended for centuries.
