When tragedy upends his safe, boring life tucked into an obscure hamlet in the wilds of Empyrea, Kaden learns of his destiny as the king of Empyrea. Called to act by a powerful wizard, the fledgling king must traverse unfamiliar lands and tame his untapped power to fulfill his purpose. He must unite the scattered tribes and find the ancient armor and sword, artifacts blessed by Orealus that his father once wielded. Kaden's quest to fulfill his destiny takes him through the most dangerous places in the land, confronting vile creatures beyond even those his worst nightmares could conjure. Marauding hoards, wielded by Lucient, a powerful dark spirit that possesses a strong hatred for everything of light and good, want nothing more than to destroy Kaden. To keep himself alive, Kaden must earn trust from unexpected allies, a motley crew comprised of a zany goblin, a distrusting elf, and a motherly fairy. What could go wrong? Will his cunning wit, determination, and masterful sword-fighting skills - well, they'll be masterful eventually - be enough to crown him the leader of Empyrea and defeat the evil lying in wait ahead?
