VALTIAIN AARTEET
SE ON ARVOKKAAMPAA KUIN MIKÄÄN MÄÄRÄ KULTAA.
MUTTA SEN TODELLINEN HINTA VOI KOITUA TURMIOKSI.
Sota joka määrittää Yanakhonin kohtalon on julistettu, ja Sagiron valmistautuu kohtaamaan kovimman haasteen. Mutta kun kunnianhimo ja ahneus hiipii heidän riveihinsä, vaaralliset käänteet uhkaavat nollata kaiken, minkä vuoksi he ovat taistelleet.
Kun heidän tehtävänsä kohtaa odottamattoman käänteen, he löytävät itsensä pulasta valtavasta trooppisten saarten labyrintistä. Kun vihollinen saavuttaa etulyöntiaseman, heidän ainoa toivonsa lepää eksoottisen Merenjumalan legendaarisessa kätketyssä aarteessa, jonka huhutaan pitävän sisällään tähtien mahdin.
Huhut kertovat kadonneesta sivilisaatiosta, josta jäljellä oli vain kannibaaleja, mutta kun he käyvät syvemmälle, paljastuukin sieltä paljon hienostuneempi kulttuuri. Vallankumoussodan edessä Sagironin on valittava omien tunteidensa ja suurempien tarkoitusperien väliltä, kun hän käy taistoon aarteista jotka todella merkitsevät.
Short synopsis
Sagiron and Arhim are on the ship they stole with the pirate crew, heading to a pirate hideout in an archipelago amid the Blue Sea. Their plan to return takes a swift turn when the pirates learn about a treasure. The enemy fleet gives chase, and Sagiron and Arhim are forced along. They sail across the Windsea to the west, all the way to Masorania, but in the archipelago, a storm hits them, throwing Sagiron overboard.
He wakes up on a beach, ending up captive of the locals, where Arhim is too - and the Journal he had. They are taken to a temple to be sacrificed, but Le-Muel comes and gets the Journal, and they manage to stay alive by kindling the greedy lord's interest with the treasure. They are taken captives again, sailing further into the archipelago, to a beacon island, where they face natives.
The pirates come after them, rescuing Sagiron and Arhim, but Le-Muel clings to the Journal and the enemy fleet is chasing them, and they flee deeper into the islands, saving the natives as they go. Sagiron meets Qarita, the Masoran girl.
Ready to give up, they see the enemy fleet proceeding somewhere with intent. Arhim urges them to follow for the Journal, and they infiltrate the fleet, following them to a shipwreck of an old treasure hunter, where they recover a moonstone.
The natives take them to their tribe with the moonstone, who agree to seek upon the treasure, for the enemy was onto it and it became Sagiron's and Arhim's only hope to fight the enemy and retrieve the Journal. They sail to a Lunar Tower, which reveals the key pair to a treasure code, but the enemy finds them and captures Qarita and the natives, the pirates barely managing to flee.
Arhim thinks he'd solved the code, but it was a carefully laid trap, and the enemy captures them. They sail to the true location of the treasure, where Sagiron finds Qarita still alive. Arhim manages to lure the enemy into a wrong place, and they reclaim their ship, fleeing, but Sagiron is intent on saving Qarita and Arhim the Journal, so they hit the true island, only to find the treasure chamber empty.
The enemy captures them again, and it turns out the treasure was buried deeper. They are taken to a temple island, where the local sacrifical priests are about to sacrifice them as the enemy studies the treasure. Arhim manages to once again lure the treasure hunter into unleashing unexpected powers from the treasure stones, causing a cataclysmic event, allowing Sagiron to flee and use the powerstones against the enemy.
Le-Muel and Percilion get away with the Journal and some of the treasures. Sagiron saves Qarita, but not without tragedy; she barely survives with the aid of the Secret and the powerstones, turning blind.
She ultimately reject Sagiron, and they sail back to Yanakhon, facing perils on the way. They find Le-Muel from the sea, wounded, revealing a far more sinister plan underway.
