He has proven himself a brave and skilled warrior, though to many elves, his is still an outsider.Even so, worse outsiders are entering the forest. In a sacred grove of twisted trees, a portal has opened to the Shadow World, and undead are pouring from it.

      Když gnollové napadnou karavanu lidí směřujících k Sielwodkému pralesu, pouze mladý Cald Dasheft přežije. I když ho snad očekává horší osud. Naleznou ho obávaní elfové ze Sielwodu, kteří ho zamýšlejí zabít. Vědí, že i jediné lidské dítě ponechané naživu by mohlo jednoho dne zničit samo srdce pralesa. Ale elfové znají také slitování. Cald žije mezi elfy až do mužného věku. Prokázal se jako statečný a obratný válečník, i když pro mnohé elfy je stále cizincem. Avšak do pralesa vstoupí jiní, horší cizinci. V posvátném háji s pokroucenými stromy se otevře Brána do Stínového světa a z ní se vyřinou nemrtví. Tito vetřelci z jiného světa by byli dostatečným zlem už sami o sobě, avšak jejich přítomnost upoutala pozornost Gorgona, který uplatňuje na tyto nemrtvé bojovníky právo. Gnollové, nemrtví, Gorgon… a jediný elfy vychovaný lidský chlapec. Kdo vyvolá zničení Sielwodu – a kdo se stane jeho šlechetným srdcem?
