In a land of eternal moonlight, light is life. The silver beams of the five moons are all that stand between the people and the dark demons known as the Shadows. The Shadows absorb the life force of anyone unfortunate enough to be caught in their midst, using a person's own fear to consume them.

For 300 years, the five moons have floated safely above the land, protecting everyone from the dangers of the Shadows. But now something has gone amiss. The moons have slowly begun being extinguished one by one as an ancient demon awakens from its slumber.

With each hour of darkness, the Shadows grow stronger and their reach grows further as they consume more innocent lives each night. Even the three Guardians of the Light do not understand how the darkness is growing, but they know it will mean the end of their world if the darkness cannot be stopped.

Only a lone sorceress named Lismella seems to know why the moons are disappearing and she's not about to reveal her suspicions. The only one she seems willing to talk to is Ericahs, a homeless, sword-wielding outlaw from Silverwood. The longer Ericahs is with her, however, the more he begins to wonder if the sorceress is merely using him to gain her own ends....

"Without darkness there can be no light, for there would be nothing to illuminate." (Lismella)
