Elle watches the only home she has ever known disappear, swallowed by an ancient evil that has returned to destroy what remains of the world. She escapes, only to discover her survival was no accident. She is part of the Five Foretold, a prophecy set in motion the moment the ancient evil awoke.

Alone in an unfamiliar land, she finds an unlikely ally in Catan, whose curiosity about her sudden appearance in his forest adds fuel to his desire to discover the truth of his past.

Together, they journey to the north, searching for answers, the other members of the Foretold and the magestones Elle needs to fulfill the prophecy.
