The sorcerer, Dagan, leads the Guardians to discover more about the ancient Kelcer prophecy. Their goal is to try and unravel some of the contradictions of the prophecy. What they find is completely unexpected. Meanwhile, Flare travels to the Valley of the Ancients. A valley that has been linked to the Dragon Order. He's not sure of what he will find. He's not even sure if the valley even has any ties to the Order. Flare can not possibly know that an agent of the Church is tracking him. The agent has powers that Flare cannot possibly suspect.

With attacking armies marching north to Telur, Flaranthlas Eldanari and the other Guardians split up. Flaranthlas heads home to Solistine, intent on convincing the elves to join the battle. Little does he know that betrayal awaits his return. Warned of the coming battle, King Darion and the other Guardians began frantically preparing for war. Some Guardians search for allies, while others try and slow the advance of the goblin army.
