The world has survived the most recent Beast War and is now in a time of prosperity and innovation. 15 years have passed since the end of the Third Beast War and society has begun to focus on technological advances, but the main focus is the training of young soldiers to quell the rising tides of Beast that roam the lands and the creation of weapons to enhance their strength. Trew is a teenage boy preparing to receive his Blessing, gaining access to Essence and the ability to control the elements. He is driven by an insatiable motivation for gaining the strength to be able to protect his family like the heroes of legend.

War, however, is far more sinister than the flowery stories that are told to children, and dark forces are gathering to make sure that in the coming war, there is no chance for humanity to survive.
