Ages ago, a fortress in Wystan valley was abandoned. Its secrets were forgotten. It lay in silence, waiting.

Many years later, an earthquake shook the valley. The small village of Porfirio lost many of her people, and her leader Birch had no choice but to flee to a neighboring village led by Aurora, a woman he’d once loved, a woman whose religion and life were so different from his they could barely sit in a room together.

The earthquake opened the valley to an enemy that wanted to restore to the valley a religion of death and a system of hatred. The key to their power lay in a weapon hidden in an old, abandoned fortress.

Aurora and Birch flee with their people to the fortress for safety, no idea the enemy wishes to seize it. They soon realize their only hope, and the hope for the entire valley, lies in deciphering the secrets and clues in the fortress and discovering its treasures before the enemy arrives. It means they must work together, whatever the cost.

Success will save the valley. It might even save Birch and Aurora. Failure will mean plunging the valley into eons of blood and death.
