An adventure set in the aftermath of an ancient war.

The great city of Tyria has fallen. The King has been murdered and the Queen abducted by the brutal invaders. The survivors face a bleak existence, but they hold out hope. A whispered hope that somehow the heir to the throne survived, and that one day he will return to raise Tyria up from the ashes.

After Marcus makes a miraculous escape from the island prison that holds Tyrian's taken children, some believe that he is the lost heir to Tyria's toppled throne. To prove himself, Marcus will need to unravel the mystery of what really happened when Tyria fell—and only the Queen can give him the answers.

Marcus sets off with a band of Tyrian soldiers and their charismatic leader, Hedj Marea, to rescue the Queen from the treacherous land of the invaders. The journey will demand all of their courage and their wits, as they masquerade as the escort for a reluctant princess on the way to her arranged marriage.

If Marcus succeeds, he will rescue his mother the Queen and provide hope to a desperate people. But if he fails, Marcus will die an imposter.
