The Realm is a place of deep seated magic: a magic that is held in balance by stones and lines of power. Gwydion has walked the length and breadth of The Realm since before the druids and senses a danger arrising from the land that will cause destruction and war. Gwydion, and his young companion Willand, must find a way to return balance to the land before evil calls men to arms and they begin to destroy each other.
