    • Ark est un jeune apprenti plombier vivant dans la cité d’Arborium, construite à des kilomètres du sol, dans les arbres géants de la forêt du même nom. Un jour où il se trouve chez le Haut Conseiller Grasp pour débloquer un tuyau d'égout, il surprend une conversation entre ce personnage détestable et Lady de Fenestra, émissaire secrète d'un autre pays. Ils sont en train de fomenter un coup d’état contre le roi d'Arborium afin de livrer la cité à l’Empire de Maw, pays de verre et d’acier qui exploitera les ressources naturelles de la forêt et ses habitants, les Dendrens. Mais les deux comploteurs surprennent Ark, et notre héros n’a dès lors plus qu’une chose à faire : sauver sa vie, la forêt et son peuple. Aux côtés de son meilleur ami et de la jolie Flo, la folle et fabuleuse poursuite commence... Pendant les 7 jours qui le séparent du coup d’État, Ark découvre qu’il possède en lui une puissance magique mystérieuse, liée aux corbeaux. Il l'a reçue en héritage de la fondatrice de la Cité, Diana, une scientifique ayant fui la folie des hommes pour venir créer sur cette île une forêt géante, où régnerait la puissance des arbres et l’harmonie entre l’homme et la nature.
