Summary: The dark will rise! Who will stand? Who will fall? The ancient world of magic is no more - its heroes are dead, its halls are ruins, and its great battles between Light and Dark are widely forgotten. Only the Stewards remember, and keep their vigil, sworn to protect humanity if the Dark King ever returns. Sixteen-year-old Will is taken in by the Stewards and trained to fight for the side of Light. Katherine is descended from the champion of the Light who long ago bested the Dark King. As fears of the Dark King's return grow, Will and Katherine join forces with a handful of young heroes of the Light and set themselves to challenge Simon, a descendant of the Dark, who is building an army and preparing to anoint himself the Dark King. But as the descendants of Light and Dark take up their destined roles and choose their sides in battle, a secret is revealed that threatens to tear everyone apart. (Publisher)
