Darkness has fallen across the land. Evil has taken the unsuspecting kingdom by surprise. Deception now reigns and temptation has rivaled the strongest of wills. The evil sorceress Azura has trapped the legendary hero Balor under her spell to command her legion of relentless henchmen. Unable to free himself, hope remains lost for all those in the kingdom… until now.
In a final attempt to rescue their leader, the people have called upon Balor’s loving companion Aisling, along with his younger brother Solas and their knights, to release Balor from Azura’s control and restore peace to the divided kingdom. As the storm rolls in and the lightning crashes, will redemption rise from the shadows or will evil prevail in the legend that has come to be known as “Rhythm in the Night?”
