The story begins about 500 years after the events of The Gypsy Morph. The heirs of the survivors of the war with the Demons and the magical boy named Hawk are facing a terrible challenge: the enchanted seals that have defended the valley from the horrors of a global catastrophe have been disrupted. Humans, elves, and mutants are therefore devoid of that protective shell that seemed like it would last forever.
One day, Sider Ament - a direct descendant of the Knights of the Word - finds unknown predators in their own little paradise, and fears the worst. He finds two men who are brutally murdered. Sider Ament warns the other inhabitants of the valley of the danger and the need to develop appropriate plans. This, however, will not be easy, since just across the border an army of trolls is massing for an invasion.
The descendants of the survivors of the Great War face incredible challenges in this new novel, set in the pre-history of Shannara.[5]
