Synopsis
Jolon, a young man from the Tjärgwald forest, falls into a feverish sleep after coming into contact with a cursed bearer, and he is slowly dying. His brother Ravin and the apprentice mage Darian ride into Skaris, a dangerous borderland, to find a legendary spring that heals every ailment and is guarded by the sorceress Skaardja. On the way they learn that dark forces are preparing an attack on the land of the forest people, and that an army of dead warriors is already marching toward Ravin's home. The story mixes adventure and romance with creatures such as rainbow horses, hall ghosts and fire nymphs.
