'Three young warriors of Akria set out on a dangerous quest to recover the symbols of power that were lost after the disastrous defeat of their peoples in the Kriathian wars. They are helped and hindered by various wizards who wield enormous power of their own. Their biggest ally is a dwarf adventurer who seeks to protect them while following his own agenda to find the murderer of his wife. The boys encounter fearful obstacles - such as the cannibalistic trolls - and selfless kindness in the offer of sanctuary from travelling circus performers, growing in maturity and finding romance on their perilous journey. A vengeful enemy in the form of a Lord General and an Akrian traitor are the biggest threats to their quest.'
