Millennia have passed since the last of the Sages walked amongst the people of Haerasong, all but lost history. Legends forgotten to most, they survive only in tales of old.

Rook is no Sage. In fact, Rook is just a kid of fifteen living on the outskirts of his small village. When not helping his mother with work, he spends his days swinging a sword away in hopes of joining the guard of the region's capital.

So when a group of strange cloaked figures appears one day, Rook finds himself thrust into a life of hidden secrets, formidable foes, unlikely allies, and a journey to ascend past even legends of old.
