O jovem Han Alister é capaz de quase qualquer coisa para garantir o sustento da mãe e da irmã, Mari. Ironicamente, a única coisa valiosa que ele possui não pode ser vendida: largos braceletes de prata, marcados com runas, adornam seus pulsos desde que nasceu. São claramente enfeitiçados - cresceram conforme ele crescia, e o rapaz nunca conseguiu tirá-los. Certo dia, depois de uma discussão, Han toma um amuleto de Micah Bayar, filho do Grão Mago, para evitar que o rapaz o usasse contra ele. Han logo descobre que o amuleto tem uma história maldita - ele pertenceu um dia ao Rei Demônio, o mago que quase destruiu o mundo, mil anos antes. Com um artefato mágico tão poderoso em jogo, Han sabe que os Bayar farão de tudo para recuperá-lo.
