After weeks in isolation, the man of legend, Merlin, calls for a meeting to discuss what they must do if they are to resist the armies of the Phoenix and retain their freedom. For four thousand years, the races of elves have been cut off from each other in a feud that destroyed the bonds of blood, driving a wedge that has never healed. If they are to stand against the armies the Phoniex has summoned forth, they must put past grievances aside and come together once more or all will perish under the Phoenix's wrath. King Erik is sent to find the Highland and Sea Elves, Queen Amysta the High Elves, while Kylee is told to seek help from the Minotaurs in the unknown land beyond the Blackedge Mountains. Meanwhile... Merlin, Kore, Tristan, and Serix set out to recover a magical artifact Merlin needs to cast a spell so powerful it will rip a hole in space time, bringing the only hope they have of defeating the Phoenix and fulfill the prophecy.
