Stian’s first meeting with the Elves in their valley didn't quite go as he had hoped. While healing from his wounds, he’s tasked with trying to earn their trust, which, because of past occurrences, won’t be easy. In order to win them over, he’ll need to learn a whole lot more about them - and about magic. However, Stian is facing a much more serious threat...and he’ll need a lot more than magic to be able to respond to this newfound danger. He’ll need the support of allies.

Both Stian and his fiancée, the prettiest and nicest girl in the village, understand that by helping the Guardians they could get the much-coveted support for their relationship that they’ve been after. But a simple tracking and hunting trip turns out to be much longer, and much more complicated than Stian anticipated. In order to be successful, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery in the wilderness that turns into the adventure of a lifetime.
