The fate of the world is at the mercy of the Primordials, powerful creatures, and the Emissaries, men and women gifted with the ability to summon them and channel their powers. This is the story of Clive Rosfield, a warrior consecrated “Guardian of Rosalia” who has sworn to protect his younger brother, Joshua, the Emissary of Phoenix, the Primordial of fire. Alas, tragedy strikes Clive, making him vow revenge on Ifrit, a dark Primordial who sows misfortune in his path.
