War. Betrayal. Destruction. And an oncoming darkness that threatens the entire world. When a royal airship crash-lands on the outskirts of the Halfmoon Forest, seven unlikely heroes band together on a cross-country adventure to retrieve an important artefact from the floating high elf kingdom of Akros but uncover a sinister plot to take over the entire country.

Newly-graduated Shrineguard Raffaele is eager to test his sword--and his magic--on the field of battle. When the High Priest perishes within days of graduation, he seizes the once-in-a-lifetime chance and enters the running to become the next High Priest. Right when the contest is heating up, a young girl with a mysterious talent claims she knows the location of a centuries-old treasure: the Lost Godstone. With such a relic in hand, Raffaele is sure to become the High Priest. However, unbeknownst to him, a powerful dark mage has been searching for the Lost Godstone for untold years. As both he and the dark mage grow close to the relic, it becomes a race, not to become High Priest, but to keep the relic from the hands of evil. A high-fantasy action adventure rife with twists and turns! Avatar: The Last Airbender meets Indiana Jones. Credit to @xangientx for the gorgeous cover art!

Every love has a story. How you first met. Who said the first word. Even mine does. Seven o'clock is not the time anyone will think of falling in love. But as our worlds collided, we did just that. In a moment lost in space, a single introduction had changed everything. I wonder if things would have been different if the day we met came with a warning. A word to tell you that this was right or this could be wrong in so many ways. I wonder where he is right now. I wonder if he's happy with his life. I wonder if anything would have changed if we did things differently. Placing our hearts on the line and flipping the pages one after the other, our story was written. It happened before we knew it, and there was no way we could have taken it back. That's just how it goes. Every first love has a story. Do you want to hear mine?
