Every man, woman, and child knew the legends. Stories of the Superior and the Five, divine beings that fought an enemy in a war that forever changed their world. Two thousand years later, those stories are all but forgotten. Humanity is ruled by the despot, Emperor Magnus Cytos. The humble men and women of Aecaros live in the fierce shadow of the Sky Pillar. Some dare to fight, while others grasp onto hope. In the end, they all bend in deference. Still, one man believes. To avoid civil war, the King of Trendaweth, trusts his adopted son, Benjamin Stanton, to end the oppression. As Benjamin and his father look to the restricted lands of Derathos, they discover some legends are true. Uncovering a lie, they trigger the return of superior power. Benjamin discovers his divine purpose. A purpose that could save the world, if darkness doesn't consume him first.
