John Claymore awakes into his nightmare of the previous night, and must battle the instigators - along with four others, to set things right.
Five souls are bound by a legacy that time will never forget. They were born to guide the most powerful magic the universe will ever know, to keep it from the hands of evil, and ensure it only be used for good.
Like the generations that guarded the magic before them, the "Bearers'" fates are set in stone, and the fates of all others depend on them. A powerful wizard, by the name Waku Doj aids them in their task.
Each possesses what is known in the Five worlds of Tulkha as an "Alterform," powerful second physical beings, to aid them in their task.
They also each possess one medallion from each of the "Fiveworlds," which must be joined to give rise to the magic they protect.
Unfortunately, their magic has already been used for evil and all is not what it seems. The clock is ticking to set things right!
