As Sabra and Deborah train, two Molouk soldiers suddenly appear on the night of Summer Solstice, one of them dying. Even as this soldier breathes his last breath, he gives Sabra a copper amulet. This amulet will take Sabra, Deborah, and other companions on a journey into the east and into a burning and tortured realm Sabra thought only existed in her dreams. During their travels, Sabra realizes she is but a guardian to Deborah's destiny, a companion she could very well lose to the power the amulet possesses.
When Sabra and her friends find themselves far from home, they are confronted with a being that wants the amulet to activate an ancient fairy machine. He is ruthless and nigh unstoppable, and is willing to destroy entire peoples to gain what he believes to be rightfully his: the entire rule of Adajerre.
