To save humanity from being consigned to oblivion and to prevent war between elves and men, Eltanin, the first and greatest wizard there ever was, performed a terrible ritual that shattered the one world into two. For 20,000 years the two dimensions, unknown to each other, existed side by side. Aralia, home to the elfin race known as the Ferrishyn, and Earth, home to humanity, are both weakening. On Aralia, Magick is fading and will extinguish unless the two worlds are reunited.

As time grows short and the appointed date of the ritual approaches, Azriel must release the dragon elementals from their eon's long imprisonment otherwise the ritual to unite the worlds will fail. Meanwhile, his mother, Abelene, has been held captive by Rastaban and the Clave. To make matters worse, Azriel must face the Dark Dragon, Lord of Death before he can reach the fullness of his power. Azriel and his companions, Camille, Jasper, Albert, and a host of others known as the Order of the Ankh must prepare for a showdown with the Clave.

The time of the conjunction draws near. Azriel and the Order of the Ankh are ready to perform the ritual that will reunite the two shattered worlds to one, but no one could have predicted the end result. The new reunited world poses its own challenges as Azriel takes on the rule of Aralia. The new king, with Camille as his queen, must prevent a hidden evil from corrupting his people. Azriel and Camille must face a peril that could forever change them, but Abeline also has her own heartbreak and burden to bear. 

Although the Tu-Grik-Ng, with the aid of Tobias and Ak-Malia, had succeeded in protecting their homes, Abahrazha faces an even greater peril. Kalor is now ruled by a madman, who vows to resurrect the ancient and powerful kingdom of Arcalia to exact his vengeance on all of Abahrazha. Yet the prophecies of a dying religion speak of this time when the fate of the world would rest in the hands of a child - one of royal blood and one who would be innocent of the destruction of Kalor.

Evil has been driven back into the void from whence it came, and the sister planets, Earth and Abahrazha, have been renewed to soundness. But a new corruption festers to replace the old evil that had plagued humanity. If not met head on, it will plunge the races into darkness from which they will never recover. As an infant, Ar-Lania had been the Destined One - the catalyst to restore the worlds. She, among others, is being called from all the planets. These are the Children of Prophecy, designated to become guardians of the worlds.

Greed and avarice often have terrible consequences. When human traders violate the sacred forest belonging to the Tu-Grik-Ng and the alien foliage is brought back to Earth, the results are devastating to both worlds. Introducing these plants unchecked into Earth’s fragile environment proves to be ecologically disastrous and on Abahrazha the Tu-Grik-Ng lament the loss of their most sacred forest, the Singingwood.
