It is the Dark Ages and something evil is stirring...

Black. Then blinding white. White like split bone. Then the wind hit. There was a sound of crashing timber like thousand falling trees, and the trading ship Spearwa stood end-up in the waves.

When a ship dashed against the rocks in a fierce storm all hands are lost but for two children, who are washed up next to a mysterious trunk which contains something more powerful the fiercest storm... The shipwreck is just the beginning of a journey which takes them far from anything they know, and for which they will need skills and courage beyond anything they imagined. A fiery and gripping adventure awaits as the Darkest Age begins.
