Those Who Would Not Be Gods

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.
