Elliot Ashwood is a young elf who resides in a small elven village on the outskirts of civilization-a plight the elven race has been forced into based on unjustified prejudice. He spends his days dreaming of becoming a keeper, someone who protects the oracle-the chosen one, whose task is to communicate with the creator of the world. Unfortunately, a twist of fate causes him to question his entire existence and purpose.

Not only is Elliot unable to become a keeper, but the oracle isn't the oracle at all. Elliot is. He has been hidden from this truth his entire life. And his role as the oracle isn't what it seems to be.

Suddenly, Elliot's quiet life is gone, and in its place is a dreadful and fateful prophecy that he alone must fulfill. In order to overthrow the return of the Necromancers-deranged worshippers of the Dark God who possess the ability of the dark arts-he must leave his village for the first time with his best friend, Minari Redwood. They must tread carefully, facing danger and prejudice at every turn, and even though Elliot feels unprepared and woefully unqualified, he must tread on. The destruction or salvation upon the world they hold dear is in the palms of their hands.
