After battling a dragon and a demon, twelve-year-old Maimun finally sees clearly what he needs to do. You have to destroy the stone that made you flee for most of your life - you just have no idea how to handle it. With his companion, Joen, he turns to the famous Twilight Tower mage, Malchor Harpell, on his side again, but Malchor charges an expensive price for his help.

Friends turn against each other, long-lost secrets come to light. And in the depths of the shadows lurks the Guardians, waiting for them to seize power over the stone — even if it takes someone’s life.
