This is the beginning of the End.

The prophecy of the Dark Heart has come to pass, and the world is slowly unraveling. Cindra and her friends have returned from their fateful quest in the Shadowood, and are now going to war.

Yet hope remains in the heart of young Nixy Shadowskipper, who wields a dark and mysterious power. Led by a new sense of destiny, and armed with the shard of an ancient blade, he hopes to take back the Dark Heart and return it to the land of its creation.

However, that land is on the other side of the world, and many dangers lie in their path. Nixy and his allies embark on a journey to save all of Creation, while Cindra and Jaron realize that even if they succeed, they may never be together again.
