In a world steeped with tradition and peppered with 42 island nations of mystic and mysterious beings, a handful of lost souls stumble through life, fighting to discover who they really are. Death sleeps in the bowels of a volcano, Life is exiled to a lush, green land, and another is starting to put a devious and evil plan into action.

From peaceful homesteads to gigantic cities encased in concrete walls, this is a tale of fear, deception, life, death, and confusion. Follow the adventures of a young man with a magical sword, a fallen soldier grappling with reality, an elderly trader escaping her past, a bitter and spoilt prince, and a young adventurer on a mission she cannot fathom. As the facade of peace begins to crumble, as darkness spreads from shore to shore, all are in the grips of the deathly tides of Ddaear.
