Ryan Glenson, a college freshman, and his two newfound friends, Lane and Kelsey, decide to face the end of the world together. People are disappearing victims of a mysterious black mist which is emerging all over the globe and stealing away those it envelops. But after they too are caught up in the black mists, they find themselves dropped into a strange, and yet eerily familiar, new world. A world filled with mythical beings, warring kingdoms, and rumors of magic. A world where the odds of survival are bleak. A world where their best bet at life and freedom lies with tracking down the elusive stones of Teurn.
