As the Second Age of Peace draws to an end, the Three Sisters - watchers of the past, present and future, foresee the signs that will herald the beginning of great calamities that will spell disaster for mankind and all that is good. The last hope for peace lies with the Order, an alliance of warriors, an Elf and a hapless Wizard. Led by a Prince whose fate is sealed by his past and a boy haunted by a past he cannot escape, they must deliver the Stone of Salvation to unlock the only weapon that can destroy the impending evil. Pursued by enemy soldiers, trapped and outnumbered, an unlikely ally comes to their aid - the last surviving warrior, a messenger from a war-ravaged land far to the east.
