After saving the western lands from the wicked sorceress Alesta, Prince Barrett and his companions return to a grieving Westmore. The king is dead, leaving the young prince as the sole heir. But just as Barrett prepares to ascend the throne, the ruthless Bureau of Mystical Affairs intervenes to seize power for themselves.
Declaring all magic forbidden, the Bureau brands Barrett and his allies as enemies of the realm. As the friends prepare to flee, a ghostly vision of Alesta appears, begging for rescue. She is imprisoned by Apadora, a malevolent force long confined to the Outerworld.
Apadora, the embodiment of ancient evil, has waited centuries for her chance to return. As her release draws near, the very fabric of the western lands is threatened. Now, Barrett and his companions face rival factions as they race to find the key to either bind or unleash her.
Orphaned, homeless, and hunted, the exiled prince must choose between reclaiming his kingdom or restraining the evil tide poised to sweep across the western lands.
