A thousand years ago, the armies of the demon lord Vatar nearly destroyed the people of Celenheim. In desperation, the high wizard Zale sundered the land and created a rift around the city, holding Vatar's forces back. In time, Celenheim forgot both the war and Vatar entirely. Now the rift is closing. An unlikely hero, freed from prison by chance, must choose: fight for Light and destroy the demon king, or fight for Darkness and kill the queen of Celenheim instead.
