[Finished and being edited] Once captured by a distraught king, a fierce warrior is forced to choose between saving his family or his country. But choices are never that simple. *** Book 1 of The War of Fire and Ice. The centuries-long war between Fire and Ice has reached an uneasy standstill; but, as time progresses, that newfound peace starts cracking. Thorn, a good warrior with a dark past, has been captured by the crazed Fire King who will spout Machiavellian ideals to obtain the item he desperately requires. However, the king carries a heavy burden that the rest of his court are more than happy to take advantage of. Meanwhile, panic blooms throughout Ice as Thorn's absence creates a hole that their king and Thorn's wife are unable to fill. Seeking to unite their divided kingdom, the Ice King and his close subjects search for ways to survive the upcoming war. There is more than one layer to the Kingdoms' troubles.

The Epic of 'Ramayan' has not been written yet. In the meantime, a devastating war was raged on the Earth between two emperors at the time belonging to two different races - King Shailendra from the Non-Aryan race and King Dashapal as the leader of the Aryans. There were some political and personal reasons those triggered this devastating war, but at the end, untamed Southern part of the region - the Non-Aryans were finally defeated by the invading Aryan race. Maharshi Valmiki was assigned to a task of keeping every single record of this Great War; he and his three disciples set out for it. When the fate of the war was settled, they were asked to visit 'the one', the 'All-in-all', 'Kaalatit' who wanted to have this epic tale created eagerly, based on the records collected by the great sage, Maharshi Valmiki, and something else that is still unknown. But why should someone be such eager to have a tale written on behalf of Mankind? According to 'Kaalatit, the All-in-all', he wanted to let Mankind have some sort of protective shield, in the form of literature, an Epic which describes the rise and fall of 'those who came before'; the desire they dared to show; the cost they had to pay off. And all these warnings should be narrated down in a single epic clearly pointing out the errors of the inmates of two different times through the journey of two brothers in an order to make the context lucid, easy to understand. It must be created in order to protect humanity at all cost such the humans do not destroy each other before their time. The Epic must see the daylight. In short - two different times; two different incidents - synchronized to one single epic. A hard task which is about to play a significant role in History; our History, our time. But, will Maharshi Valmiki be able to accomplish the task? Will he be able to take on the challenge offered to him?
