Why Read This?

You'll experience a cathartic emotional journey through war, loss, and love that leaves you thinking long after the final page.

Synopsis

Helia is fractured, attempting to recover from tragic loss and shocking revelations. The lines between good and evil have become blurred and it is difficult to know who can be relied upon in this time of unrest. The continent faces ruthless attacks by the Horde while Helia is left reeling from an unsettling truth. Alliances must be made in order to survive the war, but all is not what it seems. Those who remain in Helia struggle to process their trauma. While some find solace in turning to their work, others struggle to find a semblance of normality finding nothing but pain. Ghosts from the past have come back to haunt them, and the only way to put them to rest is to face them head one. There is one thing known for certain: The Horde is coming and they do not know how to stop them. As our beloved heroes approach their final battle, relationships will be tested, and sacrifices must be made. Can Aethion be saved? Or will it all have beenin vain? This is the last stand, the bloody battleground on which good will face evil, and not everyone will make it out alive.
