The first time poor-boy Tairren saw Princess Marrisa’s stunning red hair and gazed into her angelic blue eyes, he was stricken with a deep love for her no one would understand, not even himself. They say that young love is blind. It’s no wonder he didn’t see that loving her was deadly, and the catalyst to the collapse of not only the Kingdom of Minslethrate, but the world. It was on Marrisa’s sixteenth birthday, her engagement to Prince Phillip and the day before her enthronement to the powerful Kingdom of Ishkar, when it happened. When Marrisa is kidnapped, Tairren realizes that the childhood myths of light and darkness are very real. As Marrisa is forced to face her fate, something moves in the spiritual realm that unlocks the doorways of Hell.When Tairren quickly responds to Marrisa’s fate, he is awakened by a living creature of light, and learns that he and Marrisa are the main keys to a prophecy that would disturb evil, awaken forgotten legends, and light the fire of a threatening world war that would end life on earth. With the company of his very different comrades, the unconventional Lady Natalia, Marrisa’s unbelieving fiancé Prince Phillip of Ishkar, and a peculiar guild of glowing beings called Legna, Tairren travels across the uncertain lands of Minslethrate. Not only are the three young adventurers who are connected to Marrisa involved in the world’s fate, but everyone bridged to them are as well. Destiny and fate reveal themselves in trials, tribulation, and quests as followers of darkness, called Nomed, rise against them all. They all are caught in the middle of an ancient warfare between the enigmatic worlds of darkness, light, and the legends that brought the origin of Minslethrate, and the world, into existence.
