For centuries, five great noble houses have slaughtered each other in bloody wars of hatred and spite. From the brave knights of the Virtus to the powerful mages of the Eruditio each family has grown strong through constant competition and conflict. But now their leaders seek to end that cycle of violence with a grand, unstable experiment of peace within the grand city of Aterdivitia. As the noble families strain against the peace that is forced on them, new threats arise unlike anything these mighty civilizations have ever faced. As madness and terror pour into the streets of the city, five young warriors are the only ones willing to put aside their family's hatred and cooperate. Amid bloodshed and chaos, hatred and suspicion, the heirs must fight for that which their people most despise: Peace. Copyright © 2013-2014 All Rights Reserved by Joshua Tunnell
