Publisher's Synopsis
In the dead of night, their friend Gwen was taken prisoner. Now, caught in the middle of a war, Drake Thomas and his friends find themselves ill-equipped to fight the Sorcerer who is growing in strength.
Defying many, Aiden leads them away into the wilderness of Ariamore to train and better equip them for the battle that lies ahead. When the strange shopkeeper Isabel reappears, she offers them an ancient secret that may help them in their battle. Ancient relics, curses, oaths, and amidst all the chaos, the Heir of Lathon waits to reveal himself until the proper moment. Drake and his friends are pushed to their limits as the war and the Sorcerer closes in around them.
