Although evil terror nearly brought Uthgar to his demise, Owen was able to save his friend from death, reconcile with his long-lost sister Elsa and free the town from the Evil King. With his family reunited, the Dwarf King wishes to share a secret known only by very few humans or dwarves. However, with this knowledge also comes a new quest and new challenges to ensure humans and dwarves can finally live in peace. As Owen and his friends seek ancient pieces of a hidden, mystical artifact for Stephanie, the young hero worries about his mother and her new position of Queen, begins to question his own self-worth and faces internal anger the likes of which he has never felt in his short life. In the final instalment of "The Blue Knight" series, can Owen overcome his personal insecurities and find the true meaning of the Azure stone, or will he be overcome by pressure of saving everyone he loves from a stronger terror than he has ever known?
