Enclasia, a land brimming with mystery and wonder, suffers under the despotic regime of Lord Hepnyn. Those who oppose him are either killed as traitors or forced into exile. Jacob Kreshnu and his wife, along with their daughter Cristi and twin sons,Thymian and Rosh, are such exiles.But Thymian and Rosh bear a destiny greater than Hepnyn can imagine. Prophecy tells of the Founders; half-gods, half-men, who will one day return to Enclasia in the form of twin brothers born of house Kreshnu. Their coming would signal the dawn of a new age of freedom for the people of Enclasia, if it were true.The fate of a nation, and the destiny of one family of remarkable people, hangs in the balance.

Paths of Princes continues the story of Thymian and Rosh Kreshnu, as they journey into the heart of Enclasia, a wild and beautiful land inhabited by strange races of man and beast. Separated by a violent coastal storm, each must find their own way. In this land, ancient powers will awaken within them, powers capable of savings lives, and taking them.Meanwhile the members of a desperate rescue party struggle for survival on the beaches, canyons, and deserts of Enclasia. The twins' father, Jacob, leads the survivors of the wreck of the Larion as best he can. He must do so without Boon's help. The exile has demons of his own to face down.Each step the twins take leads them closer to a destiny that is slowly revealing itself. If they fail to discover the truth in time, a terrible fate will be visited upon Enclasia. The land will be cleansed, as the Book of Light tells, whether through the purity of heart of those who live above ground, or purged from below by the dread servants of Uel, Goddess of Enclasia.
