Purpose. Survival. Atonement. Liberty. Vengeance. Power. For centuries, the nine realms of the continent of Nonagar have lived in peace. However, in the far south, a black shadow rises. Zherakage, the Black King has mustered his power and rallied his terrible hordes to destroy the free kingdoms. Throughout the land, five youths, driven by destiny and their own agendas, embark on journeys of their own. A warrior with a powerful legacy and mysterious past. A thief with a dangerous enemy. A powerful mage, burdened by the mistakes of her past. A soldier, the only survivor of his force. A sorceror, marked for death by those he served. Through hardship and circumstance, they are brought together and must stand with the armies of Nonagar to defend their freedoms, their kingdoms, and their very existence.
