Nan'Derrana-a world rife with political turmoil and corruption-and its oblivious denizens faced an imminent demise. One scientist initiated a project to return his world from the brink and plucked the final thread from a mystical seam that divided two divergent worlds for millennia. Unleashing an ancient power, his mistake cost millions of human lives-along with his own. Then, out of the chaos comes a glimmer of hope-Mard-Tek Industries- as they harnessed the ancient energy-a green and gaseous luminescent substance-and so the tale begins.Proud soldier Captain David Orion and humble but energetic caster Lieutenant Jade Corlan are a pair of soldiers and loyal servants of the state headed by the newly formed Guild Protectorate-an organization of skilled individuals suffering the mystical effects of the so-called Mist. The librarian Jaylin Waircoft passionately tends her leather-bound wards in the Military Secure Archives and, lastly, Celcia trains arduously in hopes to serve her humble village-one of few human settlements have survived the upheaval-as their chief huntress. While they know not of each other's existence, their destinies have been intricately intertwined in the weave of fate.Two duty-fastened soldiers will begin to question the disingenuous proclamations of a shadowy command structure. A librarian must become a warrior of the people and awaken her spirit before the coming spring. And a huntress will stumble upon knowledge of the unfathomable destruction awaiting her world. Will Captain Orion overcome his pride and free his loyal lieutenant from a dark secret that binds them in time to thwart conspirators lurking behind their nefarious veils? Can Celcia confront a forgotten past to avert a disastrous future? Will Jaylin survive the agonizing process of awakening and bonding of a human soul to an ethereal spirit of the Otherworld? For should any one fail, a shadow shall befall the frail world of Nan'Derrana and plunge it into a darkness far greater than any force ever witnessed.
