In the Fortress Alliance peace has reigned for five millennia. Aside from a few wars here and there, life has been good.Prince Dormal of Lugemall has much to concern him; his father's health, the national economy and an upcoming regional conference. The last thing he needed was talk of a quest. Such things never actually happened. No one had ever really gone on a quest. That was just stories.When he discovers that his heirloom amulet is actually much more than the mere trinket he has always believed, his life is turned upside down. Suddenly the rules of the world don't apply and fantasy becomes reality. A frightening and very dangerous reality.Setting out with his closest friends they journey across the Alliance to find the other members of this Quest. But questions remain. What is the reality of it and the prophecy behind it? What is it that they aren't being told about it? And what does it actually have to do with the mysterious Fortress? A place that conjures up images of fear and death. Embarking on a quest he doesn't understand, Dormal leads his friends and companions into an uncertain world. A world increasingly fraught with danger. Along the way they realise that other forces are also on the move. Forces more deadly than mere legend and story. Death awaits them everywhere, and it seems only the Fortress itself can help them.But then that would be certain death as well.
