  Thirty years ago, two teenagers arrived in Tranthaea and saved the world. Now, the Keepers believe they have secured a lasting peace. But evil does not sleep forever…
  A forgotten threat lurks on the borders of Tranthaea. Hidden traitors plot from within. And an old enemy watches all, waiting for the perfect time to strike.
  Enter Hiari White and Aiden Swift. Torn from their lives and transported to a fantastic new world, Aiden and Hiari are thrown into the middle of a centuries-old conflict that seems destined to end in disaster. There is only one thing that can save them all: a long-lost pair of ancient weapons with astonishing powers. Unfortunately, the two teens are not the only people who have heard the legends…
  Battling their enemies, their pasts, and their fears, Hiari and Aiden struggle to stay alive, uncover the truth, and find their places in this incredible world. But when everyone has an ulterior motive, how can they tell friend from foe?
 With two unbelievable weapons missing somewhere in Tranthaea, the hunt is on.
