In the 15th century, the world beyond Europe began to emerge from myth and legend, and it was the Portuguese who led the way. They founded an empire that stretched from China to Brazil, and the peak of their achievement was Vasco da Gama's discovery of a sea route to India. Still today, landmarks, coastlines and currents around the world bear Portuguese names, and the oceans of the world are one vast watery grave for Portuguese seamen. For those who sailed beyond the known world life was harsh beyond measure.

The final battle has begun. Jake West, once an ordinary 15-year-old boy, now stands as the last hope against evil. The Estian Alliance, pursued by an unstoppable force of shadow-born beasts, will face the final siege at the city of Te’oull. Hopelessly outclassed, it is surely facing annihilation. Unless Jake somehow restores the legendary weapon gifted by the Heynai. Failure would result in darkness consuming every world, including Earth. But when loyalty and friendship arm the soul, anything is possible.

The Heynai gave the people of Estia one great weapon to wage war against the forces of evil; five powerful stones with limitless magic. Guarded for centuries by The Keepers who were chosen from Earth, together they somehow kept darkness at bay. Until two fifteen-year-old boys from England accidentally broke them. The Rebel Army of King Artrex is trapped. Outnumbered and outmatched, the only hope of salvation lies with a weapon that no longer exists. Jake West is the only one who can restore it. But Jake and his gravely wounded friend have returned to Earth.
