One of the notoriously devious beings sired by the goddess of darkness, Killian Kinless has been imprisoned for life for thievery. Desperate, hopeless, and in terrible conditions, Killian is brought to the castle of Winghearth for what he thinks is a death sentence. Instead, King Agerrmon tells him that the Light Source has named him the Protector of the Center Realm—the only being alive endowed with the powers to fight the dark forces of the Lower Realm, which has been lying dormant for a millennium. Warned by a beautiful oracle who Killian feels inexplicably drawn to, Killian learns that the Lower Realm is soon opening again. Never allowed out of her tower before, Killian brings the oracle out into the world for the first time to join him and his friends as he tries to defeat the an ancient evil deity from the Lower Realm who can control the spirits of the dead. Endowed with an amulet that can open the dimensions of their universe, the oracle whom Killian loves is the Legend’s prime target. As Killian and his new friends set out to fight the Legend, the malevolent forces of the Lower Realm begin to stir below.
