About the series

After the ancient tree Ellcrys begins to die, demons banished from the Four Lands centuries ago get a chance to return. Half-elf Wil Ohmsford discovers that he is connected to the fate of the Ellcrys and joins Princess Amberle and the fugitive Eretria on a dangerous journey. Together, they must find a way to save the tree before the demons break into their world. In the second season, the Four Lands are recovering from the war when a new threat emerges. Wil is drawn back into the fight as powerful forces seek to destroy magic and reshape the world in their own image.
