Those with ill intentions seldom sit idly in the dark while the world prospers. Evil never presents itself before a firm foothold has been secured. Questions that were not asked when peace washed over the land will soon flourish as the sum of all evils is renewed and released upon the realms. Agents of darkness spread fear and hate throughout the continent before any are capable of bringing forth resistance. Marching hordes of barbaric warriors and cruel warlords will once again fill the hills and plains with death and destruction. As the world quickly fades to black, an ancient power is stirred; a power that was once meant to be a gift from the gods themselves. It was to be spread to those capable within the land in order to bring balance to all who lived. The ancient power will soon be renewed but the allegiance of its wielder has yet to be determined. Those aware of the ancient power's awakening work with a frenzied pace to assure the alignment of its wielder shifts toward their favor. There are many who shall rise up to oppose the destructive forces. Many will sacrifice their lives to give the world a chance, no matter how fleeting. Then, there is one that will discover that he has been given the gift to challenge those working for his very destruction. There is but one problem. He does not have the knowledge or ability to control it. He must take up the task of standing in front of an evil that has been hidden for centuries while attempting to unlock his true potential. As he struggles to meet the challenge of his newly found power, he is joined by others who yearn to fight the evil that once again plagues this world. Together, they face many struggles as they attempt to conquer the atrocities darkness sends their way and stop the tyranny from rising to power.

M.K. Lauren grew up loving anything fantasy related starting with Tolkien's The Hobbit. Tales woven within the fantasy genre have the ability to take readers into a world where nothing is impossible. Worlds where mythical creatures merge with magical landscapes and shadow the reader from their daily worries. M.K. Lauren hopes he has written a tale capable of such a feat.
