He must learn how to regain the magic that was taken from him, following the clues left behind by his late mother, and uncover centuries old secrets that could be the key in securing the Empire’s future.

But another threat looms and he'll need the help of those that call the Ashlands home to defeat it before the cosmos make another move.
