The Guardian of Light has failed and the Phantom whispers persist.
"Phantoms of the Lake" follows Ah'etta, a recent inductee into the Bannermen, the voluntary protectors of the Vvenda people. The Vvenda are an archipelago nation whose ancestors were displaced from the mainland by strange humanoid beings known as "Phantoms".
The Vvenda are plagued by strange "whispers" from the mainland. Whispers that originate from the "Phantoms", and only a special ritual, the "Ritual of Stars", can quell the phantom whispers from enticing and abducting the Vvenda. Though it must be done on the mainland. Ah'etta, will discover what it means to be a "Guardian of Light".
