The fate of all nine realms rests on the shoulders of a child.
Alek, a teenage elf charged with caring for a demanding prisoner within the confines of the Kingdom of Dredfall, witnesses his prisoner's liberation and impulsively tags along with the saviors instead of staying behind and facing punishment. It would have been wise to let the liberators know this was his plan but, like most young elves, he did not think that far in advance. The result of his impulsive action is life-altering. Unbeknownst to Alek, his former master is working toward bringing the destruction of all nine realms by calling forth a world-ending creature from Muspelheim, the realm of fire. Our heroes find themselves battling to save Alfheim, and they cannot do it alone. The next generation of elven royalty is the key to Alfheim's survival or destruction, but only if a god chooses to intervene. The line between good and evil must be erased, and help must arrive in time, or life could cease to exist.
