'To Dé-nyl, the world seems like a fairly rational and straightforward place. That is, until he embarks on an incredible quest.

'Along with his falcon, Freawil, Dé-nyl sets out on a perilous journey into an unknown land; an ancient forest dominated by the magic powers of the Immortals.

'He is joined early in his travels by Destiny, a beautiful Immortal who aids him in his search for the sword of legend, the Garensword, which possesses the strange power of being able to destroy one's enemies whilst restoring life to the slain.

'Once he acquires the ancient weapon and sheds the blood of his enemies, Dé-nyl must seek the final object to his quest; the legendary Firetree which serves as the gateway to that of which has eluded mankind for thousands of years: the secret of Immortality.'
