War calls the elves of Urlas to battle. But Kealin, a young half-elf training to be a Sacred Blade, and his three siblings, are forbidden to go. They are not ready, or so they're told. But Kealin's lineage has a dark secret and the High Council of Urlas fears what he may become...

Kealin is about to learn that secret. Urlas will soon tremble and wish they would have embraced it.

When the soothsayer of Urlas tells Kealin that doom comes for all that left for battle, including his parents, he and his siblings set off on what may be a one way journey to the edge of the world. Darkness is upon them and a specter that dwells between the borders of the living realms has been waiting for them.

The Rogue Elf awakens... but is it too late to save those he loves?
