When the royal herald came announcing a mandatory Tournament of Warriors, Branwen was the last one to get excited. Sure, she was a good enough archer, but why should she be forced to go to the tournament just because the king said so? She had nothing to prove! Yet when she got there her competitive spirit took over and she succeeded—enough so that she was singled out by the king to take a difficult journey with three others who were as different as night and day from each other. Why? To recover the king and queen's missing crowns. Will they ever be able to overcome their differences and get along to complete their mission, or will they fall prey to an unexpected danger posed from within?

Branwen thought her previous adventure to the North Mountain had been her last—after all, Captain Gavel's fortress had collapsed after she and the three others rescued the necessary crowns. She thought that she'd get to see Edyth, Quintin and Silas at the annual Tournament of Warriors for only a few days each year. But most of all, the last thing she expected was to ever go beyond the North Mountain... and that's exactly what she did. When the young princess went missing during the last night of the Tournament, the king and queen turned to the four faithful heroes to rescue the kidnapped child. And that’s how Branwen found herself caught up in yet another once-in-a-lifetime journey, headed north—this time, beyond the mountain.

It's been six years since Branwen first brought Quintin to Linfort, and now they're married with two delightful little girls. Both of them would like nothing more than to continue the life of peace they've started, but unfortunately that is not to be when villages in the northern and western quarters of Aralan begin to be ruined by mysterious fires. No one knows who is setting them, because no one is ever left alive after an attack, and it seems Linfort is soon to be targeted. To make matters worse, Quintin disappears while on a trip to warn King Thomas of the threat to his country, leaving Branwen alone when Linfort is in its hour of need. Where has Quintin gone? Who are the attackers? Why are they destroying so much of Aralan, and who's behind it all?

Branwen’s fourteen-year-old daughter Rhoslyn, is intrigued when she comes home one day to find three strangers in the house, arguing with her parents. Who are these men? Two of them appear to be the same age as her father, but one of them is younger—much younger, about her age. He turns out to be Allister, Rhoslyn’s cousin, and he with his father and uncle have come all the way from Norwynnd. Needless to say, Rhoslyn and her best friend Bradyn get off to a bad start with Allister when they find him unusually secretive, and instead of deterring Rhoslyn with his bad attitude, Allister unwittingly encourages her curiosity. She knows he has a secret, and she’d determined to find out what it is. To complicate matters, a dark-skinned man from Calima, Aralan’s closest neighboring country, appears the day after Rhoslyn’s relatives, bringing with him a new religion, and it looks like he’s going to be there a while due to his broken leg. While he’s there he insists on telling others about his faith, and Rhoslyn doesn’t know what to think. Why is her cousin so secretive? Why does this man from Calima think she needs God? And most of all, why have her relatives from Norwynnd come to Linfort now, after all these years?

Taryn and Christopher Paxton, a brother and sister team, are the two most-wanted rebels in the entire country of Arcor, but when they get caught they are thrown into a time machine that takes them back thousands of years to the Land of the Dinosaurs. Neither one of them know what to expect, least of all to find a legend named Oliver Frader there. He, previously a museum curator, had also been a rebel, up until he was thrown into the time machine created especially for him twenty years earlier. Together the three must endure both mental and physical hardship in order to escape Tè Nan Lezar alive and return to Arcor and free it from its Age of Tyranny.
