Orren has spent his life in a swine barn, under the thumb of his cruel and selfish half-brother, Lord Berthus. But when his best friend and mentor dies, Orren finds out he is destined for more. Stealing a magical gwell stone that Berthus treasures, and fleeing his brother's minions, Orren heads for the wilderness seeking five similar stones, so Berthus can't abuse their powers. He finds himself unexpectedly in the company of a clumsy goblin named Haxel, and a fiery young woman named Marett.
