Lindon stands at the edge of Sacred Valley, transformed by years of training in the outside world. The boy who once left as the weakest member of his clan now possesses abilities his family never imagined possible. But his homecoming brings no celebration. The Wandering Titan approaches, and this Dreadgod will destroy everything in its path. Lindon and his companions race against time to convince the valley's stubborn inhabitants to abandon their ancestral home. The task proves harder than expected. An old curse dampens their sacred arts, leaving them weakened when they need strength most. The clans continue their petty feuds, blind to the approaching catastrophe. Years have passed since Lindon's departure, and Sacred Valley has changed in ways he never anticipated. He once dreamed of gaining enough power to protect his family. Now, as the Titan draws near, he fears his strength may not be enough.
