Fire's Ruin

Lowly-born Clayde would give anything for his sister, Emia. When a group of nobles kidnaps her with intentions as mysterious as they are dark, he is forced to choose between letting her go or losing his soul to gain the power needed to save her.

Dhakara has lost everything, except for his enthusiasm for life. Amid a horrific accident, he discovers that perhaps he is not as alone as he thought, and neither is the world of Shalidur.

Living in the northern land of Elendor, built on the ruins of an empire that once ruled the world, Dresden has a problem; he is getting married. His whole life has been decided for him, including who he should marry. Yes, Adalia is beautiful, smart, and quite frankly amazing, but for once Dresden wished he could control his destiny. With an attack on his home by invaders, he may just get the chance, if he can overcome his demons.

That attack was but the first salvo in a series of tidal waves that are about to drown the world in blood and terror, begun by a mysterious emperor, rumored to be immortal.

Heroes, each forged in their fire of affliction, are not born or chosen, but rather set their path through their choices. But fire can also consume and destroy. Will the fires ruin, or will they reforge the broken pieces of a divided world?
