Location
The series takes place in the fictional world of Arkaria, which consists of a Northern area and a Southern area. The Northern area houses the Human Confederation, Elven Kingdom, Dwarven Lands, and the dark elven race. All of them live in peace except for dark elves. The Southern side houses the Dragon, Goblin, and Giant kingdoms and a secret society of elves. Trolls were banished from the rest of Arkaria following a war.

Book 1: Defender
Cyrus Davidon and his friends Narstron and Andren are the only members of the Kings of Reikonos. They live in their guildhall, a former military barracks near Reikonos, the capital of the Human Confederation. The Kings are approached by an elven woman who asks them to join on an expedition to the den of Ashan'agar, the former dragon king who was banished from the Dragon Kingdom. They agree. During the expedition, the Kings meet Orion, a human ranger; his wife Selene, an elven healer; Niamh, an elven druid; and Vara, an elven paladin. They are part of a guild called Sanctuary. After the expedition, Orion invites the Kings to join Sanctuary. Cyrus requests to go on an expedition with them first to make sure that the entire guild is as good as Orion says. They go with Sanctuary to the capital of the Giants, and following their retreat, the Kings agree to join Sanctuary.

Characters
Cyrus Davidon: Cyrus is a human warrior and follower of Bellarum, God of War. He is the main character of the series. His father died during the war against the trolls while Cyrus was young, and his mother died shortly after. Cyrus was sent to the Society of Arms at age six following his mother's death. In the Society of Arms, people are usually separated into one of two blood families; however, Cyrus was kept outside of either and left to fend for himself. After Cyrus left the Society, he met Andren and Narstron, and they formed a guild called the Kings of Reikonos. They later fold the Kings in order to join Sanctuary.

Narstron: Narstron was a dwarven warrior and best friend of Cyrus. Cyrus met Narstron before the events of the series while fighting a bandit. They later met Andren and formed the Kings, then folded them to join Sanctuary. Narstron dies in Defender during the raid on Enterra.

Andren: Andren is an elven healer and friend of Cyrus. He met Cyrus and Narstron and formed the Kings, then joined Sanctuary with Cyrus and Narstron. Andren is an alcoholic and his drinking problem gets worse after Narstron's death.

Niamh: Niamh was an elven druid and member of the guild Sanctuary. She was among the first members to meet the Kings. During Champion, an assassin kills Niamh with a dagger coated in black lace, which nullifies magic healing and prevents them from being able to resurrect her.
