A kingdom in danger. Darkness creeps into a world ill-prepared to face it.



Durian always knew he was meant for something more than simple village life. His only problem: he's just a carpenter in the sleepy town of Suriya at the edge of the kingdom. But something is stirring in the places few travel. Frightened villagers whisper in the shadows of an impending invasion from the warlike barbarian tribes of the north. But Durian can't shake the feeling that something bigger is at work...something ancient.



As Durian and his friends seek to uncover the truth, they're propelled toward an unexpected and shocking discovery. What really ended the old world, twelve centuries ago? Could things again be building toward the same tragic circumstances? And could a simple carpenter really be the key to solving the oldest riddle of their age? Join Durian as he seeks to battle the ancient enemy somehow forgotten by the history books...only mentioned in the fragments of cryptic poetry of the last great king of the old world.



The shadow falls upon the floor,

The forest shudders cold.

And even young men bear the weight

Of cares so very old...
