At a time when the use of weapons has been forgotten, and the dancing cheari warriors of Arun are only a myth, a magical land knows peace. Then a young servant girl called Sorren is haunted in her dreams by Tornor Keep-the legendary tower that was created to protect the realm from its enemies. To discover the meaning of these visions, she will undergo a quest to the watchtower; and a humble girl will become part of a revolution in which the common people find the courage to stand up to tyranny?.
