Thomas Hunter, the fearless leader of the Forest Guard and Dreamer extraordinaire, protects the forests from the evil that is the Horde army. With their diseased minds and flaking skin, their purpose is to serve Teeleh, the largest of the mythical black bats and idolized by the Horde, and to destroy the healing waters of the green lakes, hidden at the center of the seven forests. The forests are scattered among the world, with nothing but desert in between. But this story isn't about Thomas. It is about Johan, his wife Rachelle's brother.

Johan is younger than Rachelle by only a few years and had never thought of leaving her side. But something would soon change the way he felt about the life he was living and what role, if any, their creator Elyon played in it.
