The Wrekening begins as the
Feie named Brengven is searching for a meal and
stumbles upon a cavern full of demonic stone
soldiers. Opening a rift, he hurries to the
fortress of the House of Aaradan where Yavie,
the Dragon Queen, and her husband Sorel live
with Yavie's Guardians. Hearing the news of the
discovery of the army and using the knowledge
of the Ancient wizard, Grumblton, they decide
that something must be done to collect and
destroy the Wreken Shards, the heart shards of
the Wreken Wyrms, or stubstrata dragons.
Knowing that sending guardians would draw too
much attention, they call upon the help of Nall
and Naere's estranged daughter, Cwen and her
friend Talin. At first they refuse, but
Brengven, who was sent to convince them,
finally succeeds after Caen, who has been
good-naturedly stalking Cwen, gets shot by her.
The Feie uses Caen, who is somewhat of a rogue,
to convince her by saying that he will take
Caen on the quest and that she is too weak to
complete the quest. In the end, all three of
them accompany Brengven. Several days later,
they are traveling through Spire Canyon when
Cwen is captured by the Thralax, an
intelligent, gorilla-like monster. Just as Cwen
is escaping on her own, Caen and Talin come to
rescue her and nearly kill the Thralax. Cwen
saves it by way of a blood oath, and it is
forever sworn to protect her. She steals its
vast wealth and continues towards the first of
the 13 Wreken Shards. After Cwen and her group
have collected the first and several other
Wreken Shards, they get news that one town has
already been attacked by a dark army set free
from an underground cavern by an evil
enchantress. When Nall comes to tell them to
"speed up", he is nearly killed by Cwen, but
nevertheless, they hasten in their task as more
armies are awakened and more towns are
destroyed. As Caen tries to worm his way into
Cwen's heart, Klaed, the son of a councilman
who like Cwen and Talin refused to be
guardians, shows up and vies for Cwen's
affections. Can Cwen and her friends recover
and destroy all the Wreken Shards before
Aedracmorae is destroyed?
