Garrus Irons is a simple smith. A metallurgist with a love of the art and magics of creating immaculate armor and weapons. Outside the fringes of society due to his lineage, the large man's life was entirely changed when a man who owed him a life debt invited him to join him in his adventure.
Sick of his normal life he agreed, and began the start of his adventures as a warrior smith, or as he was called by those who met him, a tank.
The term tank comes with ups and down, the highs of being there to protect your friends, and the lows of being seen as nothing more than a wall of protection by those very same friends. It's a double sided coin, being a tank. On one side you're the shining hero that saves the garrison, and on the other you're the man who died for a mission. On one side you're the shield of life, on the other you're just a body in the way of harm.
Being a wall isn't always the best.
Being the shield sometimes hurts.
Sometimes, just sometimes,
Being the tank is nothing but being stabbed in the back.

Forsaken: The Chosen Trilogy - Book One
Before you begin this story, I must warn you first. This is not a tale of dashing knights and lovely damsels awaiting rescue. It is not the tale of happy endings, with birdsong and rides into the sunset. It is a tale of light magic and dark, of dragons and monsters, of heroes and villains and the thin line between them. This is the tale of being broken, being made stronger, and then being broken again. This is a story of love of heartbreak so great if feels like your chest has been hollowed out and scraped clean, like you would never feel anything else ever again, and of love so powerful it can make even the gods tremble. This is not a happy story, but it is our story, and it is the only one I know how to tell. ********************** FORSAKEN is the first tale in the Saga of Darkness, following six brothers and sisters who have been named the Chosen of the Gods, destined to fight a great darkness that threatens their world. But evil wears many faces, and it will take the efforts of all- Kryssa, Brannyn, Lanya, Kylee, Alyxen, and Reyce- to survive the harrowing trials to come. ********************** FORSAKEN is a completed novel, being posted as a serial. Books Two through Five in the Saga of Darkness are also complete. Chapters posted every Monday and Friday.Complete
