"The evil that threatens all the lands has not been eliminated by a Peace treaty, merely temporarily held at bay.
Teal, the hero of Circle of Light, is the only one who can stop the Dark forces that hunger for absolute power. He uses the magical abilities he has gained as a Usare - a ring bearer - in his epic struggle with the most dangerous enemies he has yet encountered.
With the help of his Circle of Light, and many new friends, he undertakes a remarkable journey through mythical lands, where he must do battle with the creatures that follow the Darkness . . .and with the Darkness itself.
In this breathtaking fight between good and evil, Teal's odyssey also becomes a journey of discovery, as the truth of his heritage - and his power - is at last revealed"
