Lukin is a self-declared adventurer who lives in a tavern; Mortlebee's family starves as the Lord Protector's tax collector's greed increases; the Duke wants Suma to marry an ugly old man; Simeon refuses to take part in his country's manhood ritual even at the cost of his life; and Twig must fight off rats just to eat.
The greatest magic cast in over three thousand years was meant to free the realm from the Lord Protector, who must first be prevented from creating a portal that will summon powerful allies. Once the portal is opened, no one will be able to stop him.
Instead the Weapons of Power, and the fate of the realm, end up in the hands of five troubled youths. Only together do they stand a chance. Separated by a continent and pursued by magic-wielding clerics, the weaponbearers must find each other--but first they must find themselves.
