But suspicion and hostility among their countrymen threaten to doom their efforts from within, while beyond the breached borders, a ruthless Troll army masses for invasion. Together, the young Trackers, the aging Knight and a daring Elf princess race to spread word of the encroaching danger. When Sider Ament, last surviving Knight of the Word, detects unknown predators stalking the valley, and Trackers from the human village of Glensk Wood find two of their own gruesomely killed, there can be no doubt: the once safe haven of generations has been laid bare. But now, the unimaginable has come to pass: the cocoon of protective magic surrounding the valley has vanished. Those who escaped the carnage were led to sanctuary by the boy saviour known as Hawk: the gypsy morph. Five hundred years have passed since the devastating demon-led war that almost exterminated humankind.
