Solstice and her friends are unwittingly a part of it. They meet mysterious people that unveil an agenda to change Varkin ways. This agenda reveals buried secrets, a past empire, and an unknown bloodline. With thier help and help from unexpected allies (some being mythical), Solstice and her friends try to unravel the Varkin.They hope that this quest is not unreachable. They hope that only minor blood lost will occur. The past, however, presents a vastly different story they are not prepared for.
