The Aurorai Chronicles: Book 1 ~ Sapphire

~.- Credit To @silverwhisperings- For The Cover -.~

Naviah. This land is no balanced ground, there's no long lasting peace, no cherished sanctuary. Blood stains the ground on which the warring races stand, igniting the fury of every kingdom in a wildfire of destruction.

This used to be a place of magic, where the giant forms of dragons could be seen across the sky and colourful fairies were spotted on flower petals. The races worked together to ensure that the land prospered, and with it, it's inhabitants.

However, this delicate balance was upturned when the humans grew ignorant and unjust. They began to hunt down those of magic blood, seeking power they could not have.

One race, more powerful than any other known to Naviah, decided it was time to rid the land of the humans' foul delusions. The Aurorai warriors were shifters of extraordinary abilities, able to change their form into that of a dragon. They forged the Amulet of Aurora, consisting of five gems which held the very essence of Naviah.

The sapphire, gem of water. The emerald, gem of earth. The ruby, gem of fire. The diamond, gem of air. And the opal, gem of life.

When the human king, Orios was overpowered, he ordered five assassins to infiltrate the great Keep of Aurorai and steal what they held dearest, the Amulet. The Aurorai were strong, and fought for the fate of Naviah with courage and determination. No amount of skill could prevent the horrors which unfolded during this final battle.

The Amulet of Aurorai was stolen, taken from the Keep by the five assassins who dared defy the natural order. But the creatures of the land were drawn to the Amulet, summoned to defend it's magic against all odds. However, the Amulet was broken in the midst of the fight, and the five gems were cast to the ground.

In their panic, each carrier grasped a single gem, fleeing to the furthest corners of Naviah where they hid the gems from seeking eyes.

War is once again upon us. Can the Amulet be restored in time?
