Shards of Light

A horrific war sends Vendella into cataclysm, fiends desolate cities and towns, under the command of one. The Sovereign of Alexandra sends his generals to confront this evil while his five most trusted sages research ancient rituals that might put a stop to this. One cunning young sage pieces together a plan that offers salvation. These sages set out across the seas to seek the one, who awaits their arrival on a remote island. Unable to reason with the tainted dark soul, they set their plan in motion, sealing this evil before he can bring any more harm to Vandella. Generations pass, Vandella reclaims its beauty and wonder as humans and elves continue to rebuild. Technology was set back ages, manual labor has become a way of life among towns and cities as very little survived the war. Only one library, containing books of alchemy and magic, remains; exceedingly limiting the growth of two powerful and almost extinct classes. An overworked scientist believes the natural elements of Vandella are diminishing, causing the world to slowly wither. He pursues a lead to an ancient cave in the northern mountains of Alcane where an excavation uncovers an old journal and an unknown artifact. According to the journal this artifact can restore the natural elements with the presence of a relic key. A key that's been handed down through one special bloodline; one very important descendent lives close by, a young archeress named Lira. Shards of Light is written in first person, present tense. Emotions, reactions, thoughts, and desires will be yours, as much as Lira's. Partnered with a slash-happy swordsman, they embark into the world to recover unique artifacts of power. As the story unfolds, Lira gains insight into her ancestors as well as herself. Amazon Ebook: http://t.co/QMgkeZq Paperback: ISBN 9780988996205 is available through Author.
