When the ancient sacred staff of Alderland unexpectedly chooses him as the next ruler of the kingdom, Elias is thrust from his humble home into the powerful and dangerous world of the royal palace.
Within the towering walls of Alderhold, when betrayal and danger push him beyond the safety of the palace, Elias discovers that true leadership is not about power or bloodline, but about understanding people and standing firm in the face of fear.
