After the events of Finn’s Deep and the opening of the Dark Sarcophagus, a threat from thousands of years ago has once again returned to the world. Having faced that great evil firsthand, Cypher now seeks to learn how his father attained his legendary strength in an effort to grow stronger. To do that he seeks out Elaine Mikorus, a trusted companion of his parents and the only one he can turn to for answers about their past, his developing new powers, and the current dangers he now faces.

But the Minus isn’t the only threat looming over the horizon. The Order of Eternal Night is starting to move in earnest and it isn’t long before Cypher finds himself facing down some of their most potent leaders. After his friends are kidnapped and held for ransom, he finds himself thrust from his homeland and dropped into the neighboring country of Farnor.

As he soon discovers, the members of the Order of Eternal Night aren’t the only players on the board. An ancient and secretive brotherhood of Paladins known as the Radiant Corps stands against them and evens the playing field. With nothing but his wits, a powerful relic his father once owned, and the help of a mysterious old man, Cypher takes the first steps of his world-spanning adventure across the continent of Demilnoxis.
