After finally shattering his shackles and freeing himself from a life of servitude under the cruel Galvan family, Cypher, a young boy of only twelve, discovered that he possessed the power of the Null element and quickly found himself attending the most prestigious school of Magick in all the world: Guardian Hall Academy.

After many struggles and hardships, he thought that life was finally starting to go his way. However, when an ancient cult from the early days of creation returns, he finds that while his elemental affinity is a gift in many ways, it is also a curse that threatens to destroy everything he has come to love.

With his skills growing more potent with each passing day, and the threat of that darkness mounting, he learns the truth of his heritage, and a race against time begins to reach a long-hidden trove of knowledge and power.

Rejoin Cypher as he ventures into the very heart of the Kingdom of Dellorim. The odds might be stacked against him and an army of cultists out to claim his life, but with the help of powerful new allies, will he be able to solve the mysteries his parents left behind for him? Or will evil find its goals fulfilled?

The Odyssey continues as Cypher returns to his roots, Beneath the Hawthorn Tree.
