'There is a time fast approaching when the power of the Living Towers will once more be set free upon the world and with it will come a time of dying... When Charbdis accidentally stumbles upon the Hawkthorn Tower with its Crafter staff and mesmerising green Lychgem, he finds himself master of an astonishing power which has been lost for centuries. He charters the unsuspecting Tandra and her Cathar companions to find the other Towers, so that he can claim them all and rule Kyrthos. But the Deisol will do anything to prevent the reawakening of the Towers. Led by Raissa, the group's mission is to seek out the Hawkthorn Tower and kill it's master and all who aid it. And so the deadly race begins to reach the Tower. Will the force of the Towers be unleashed for good or for evil? The fate of the world of Kyrthos hangs in the balance . . . '.
