Kwan longs to make a difference and is desperate to protect his family's legacy. As the son of the Chief Technology Integration Minister, the stakes are high to prove his worth. After achieving prominence for discovering a revolutionary compound for building roads and bridges, Kwan realizes that his compound might be toxic. Should he speak up to protect the environment of his homeland, or follow professional success and recognition? In the back of his mind, he remembers the advice his father once gave him: Sometimes secrets are necessary.

After a restless night of sleep, Kwan finds himself back in the lab-but not his lab. It's a lab in the mystical world of Glideon. There he joins the Lightgliders who are tasked with helping the Gliddles save their land. While on a quest in the Liminal Caverns with the Gliddles, he finds Dr. Grapethorne's journal which holds disturbing truths about Glideon, blight, and the mysterious Gliddles. Kwan keeps his discovery a secret, but the truth comes out when he falls ill from the blight. Only the Armor of Light can save him.
