When William finds a beautiful elf woman in his backyard in the middle of the night and she gifts him with the Weaving, imbued with the strength and wisdom of a line of elven kings, he thinks he is dreaming. When she comes back the next day and kills him so that the magic can take hold, his troubles are just beginning. The elf princess Allianne exhumes his rather startled resurrected body and takes him to her world of Rillian which is under threat from the brutal Ferren and wild elves. Those who should be allies fight amongst themselves and it is up to William to unite disparate races and find out who the real enemy is. Unfortunately; the changes taking place in his body are not following the accepted path, and giving the power of the Weaving to a human may not have been the best move. William must lead the good people of Rillian to victory; but can he even control his own body?
