The Lifestone tells of a young boy named Arne who is born into medieval royalty, he lives in comfort and luxury until one day it is all taken away. His father is captivated by bandits,
leaving Arne to fend for himself after the kingdom is burned into ashes. Arne must seek his father’s accomplices and form an alliance who will help to rescue Arne’s father from one of the most dangerous bandit fortresses. They must collect clues around the kingdom left behind by Arne’s father to help free him from bandit captivation.
Arne learns of a fable in which a bard will play an ancient melody and thereby summon the
bandits away from the fortress to form an alliance with other bandits around the world. After Arne notices that his father had engraved musical notes on stones around the province, Arne realizes that he must fulfil his own destiny and become the very legend from the fable. It is now down to Arne to learn the ancient melody and summon the bandits from the fortress, ready for his father’s rescue. Arne finds complications along the way, meets people who are not as they seem and encounters dangers far worse than his own nightmares.
