Three individuals across the Kingdom of Albion and beyond begin their initiations into their separate careers. A young Albion lad is rescued from a raid by the Feral and given over to a monastery in Honshu where he begins his training as a Ghostwalker. A noble's son in the capital of Littlebrook is sent to become the personal squire to the Grandmaster of the Knights of the Sun. Meanwhile a half-fey struggles with her training as a mage, only to discover her magical talents lie in another, rare branch of the arcane.
  Unknown to them all a common enemy unites them and as that enemy stirs the different forces around the Kingdom of Albion the three will be thrown together into a titanic struggle for the survival of the kingdom itself.
