Hope is a precious thing, expecially in times of war. There are tales told of the Black March, When the Demon Gates opened and unleashed a vicious horde of monstrosities so fierce and powerful that it shook the very ground with its advance.
It took the united power of all the great empires to stand against it. It was a dark time then, where fear swept the land like unrelenting waves and the flames of hope were whittled down to no more than a candle, floating a top its raging tides. However, against all odds, hope survived and the war was won.
Two thousand years have passed since that dark time yet war continued onward still. The great empires that had fought together were now more divided than ever before. With the Demon Gates threatening to open once more, fate has tasked three young souls with the challenge of reuniting the empires for only they know of the horrors that are coming.

A&D Book 1: Amulets & Demons (Editing Slowly)
In our world, there are two forces. One of darkness, and one of light. The forces of darkness dwell underground, in large caverns and ravines. The inhabitants of these spaces are demons, who are born of fear and anger, and thirst for it. These nightmarish creatures have one goal: slaughter the human race, and take over the world. Enter the forces of light. To them, genocide isn't that cool. They're like, "How about you NOT do that, 'k?" These shining paladins of hope (most of them, anyway) are trained to defend the world from these monsters. The guardians of the light are trained to protect at the 'Гэрэл Чапел' (The Chapel of Light). Jace, who came to the school expecting such, has spent years (one and a half) preparing himself to fight. However, he soon learns that the fight runs much deeper, and the stakes are much higher than he thought.Complete
Heavens Edge: Burning Desire
Samuel Stone thought surviving his first battles with the Demon Alliance would prepare him for anything. But as the stakes grow higher and the bloodshed heavier, he begins to realize that the power of Uriel's heavenly flame may not be enough. When friends fall and innocent lives are lost under his leadership, Samuel starts questioning his role in a war that feels unwinnable. The Heavenly Gates offer nothing but judgment, watching him falter under the weight of their expectations. Meanwhile, the Demon Alliance circles closer, eager to exploit the cracks in his resolve. Among them, Avaris-the cunning and persuasive Deadly Sin of Greed-sees Samuel as the perfect prize, offering him a seductive promise of power that could turn the tides of the war. As Samuel wrestles with his desire to protect those he loves, his fear of failure threatens to consume him. The line between hero and villain blurs as he's drawn deeper into the shadows of his own ambition. How far will he go to gain the strength he needs? And at what cost will he keep his soul? Will he stand firm as a leader and hero-or succumb to the burning desire for absolute power?
