Prologue
The realm of Acorn is at War. For the last four years it has fought alone against an ever increasing list of enemies who want nothing more than to strip it of its wealth, enslave its people and rule in terror over its fertile ground. The Dakar tribal raiders and Wolvine nation have finally ended their years of border conflict and united to form a dangerous alliance against their peaceful neighbour. Supposed friends watch on through uncaring eyes whilst the brave men and women of the realm buy each day of freedom with their lives.
Amongst the chaos, Sally, queen of the realm of Acorn sits powerless, unable to provide the answers which will avert the ever present bloodshed and destruction of her proud subjects. Surrounded by corruption, political intrigue and incompetence, her short reign looks set to end in the extinction of everything she holds dear.
And now, yet another foe enters unseen into the cauldron of battle. Though its purpose is yet unclear, the dark legion, sworn enemies of the floating island, play their opening hand in a new move which could finally seal the realm of Acorn's fate.
This story tells the tale of how one nation can stand alone against insurmountable odds, how old friends are not always forgotten and how sometimes the enemy of your enemy can truly become your best friend.
