**A red mist travels East, and with it comes pestilence and death.**The druids of Darkleaf Forest are fragmented, hopelessly scattered across the land. The machinations of a power-hungry prince have unleashed an ancient evil in their homeland that drove them from it. And without their ancient rites to steward the earth, Corruption has begun to spread Eastward and threatens to consume every man, woman, and child in the Four Kingdoms. The world is in desperate need of a hero. The problem Jinn was never much of one. Born of the forest and isolated in the East, he is an outcast- a fell omen and a bringer of the mist. He is a ghost to others, and that has ensured his survival. He has found comfort in his solitude, far away from the problems of the world. Until six green-cloaked figures arrive on his homestead, led by the unwavering Cyra Sagehand. These strangers claim to know more about Jinn than he knows himself, and soon pull him into an epic quest in which the fate of the world is at stake. Will his unwilling return mean the birth of a great hero, or will the world succumb to Corruption?
