Young Chip has always relied on his wits and courage. But when the former pirate is kidnapped and thrown into a prison on a remote island, his luck seems to have run out. Inside the dank cell, he meets Hal Underbrook, a nobleman with a hidden past, and Renna, a quiet elf whose silence hides untold secrets. When Chip shares his most prized possessions-three strange stones-they uncover a mystery that reaches far beyond the prison walls. These stones carry untold power, and soon, the trio finds themselves caught in the web of an ancient god whose whispers hint at a dark and dangerous fate. The first part of an epic tale of fate, magic, and the shadows of the divine.
