Only a few days after the start of King Nom's 24th Annual Tournament, the sun fell into shadow over Ojai.

King Nom had invited warriors, celebrities, and dignitaries from all over the world to Rosewood for his birthday. Shinefoot, invited as a warrior and dignitary from Bobonoa, Xylo, as the daughter of an advisor to King Nom and a growing power in her own right, and finally The Rat, a thief, stealing the invitation from the more deserving but less fortunate Chet after a drunken brawl.

The three formed an unlikely team to compete in the games and chose the name the Bonewardens for their team. After performing well at a few, the sun blotted out of the sky.

Meanwhile, Felix was tried for the murder of Fay, his childhood friend. While innocent (and in the good graces of The Godmother™️), he had been framed, but his life was spared, exiled to Palmorra from Fairyland. While he had trained all his life to bond with a mortal, he instead found himself alone as the sun flickered and fell under a dark, evil shadow. He was surrounded quickly by Manes, only to be saved by Keheatys (kay-HEE-tish) falling from the Sun.

The two new additions to the party joined the Bonewardens after receiving a telepathic call from Vessel, who told them the history of the Kiuskivi. They set out on a daring adventure across the planet, attacking the deadly snake She-who-Slithers in swampy Bobonoa, tricking the Ultimate Gamer Vriz and destroying The Ivory Tower in Ampa, and trading with the Pirate King Liword in Senneris for their first few Kiuskivi.

While the Bonewardens have found success, still they face challenges. Hunger and chaos spread across the world. Nations are falling as Noctis's power grows. The Moon Knights of Noctis seem to be taking notice of the Bonewardens. Can they find the 120 Kiuskivi they need to restore the sun before the Moon Knights stop them? Or will Palmorra remain trapped in darkness, victim to the vampires that cursed it to this fate?
