This is the discontinued version, however the improved version will be coming soon.
Five sacrifices. Dead. And thousands more with them.
The modern population and traditions are limited and constantly shrinking. The king doesn't believe in the past, only the future, and boy, does he have plans for the future. Plans that almost everyone agrees with...
Almost.
Every twenty-five years, a new sacrifice is chosen to be the first. They're supposed to lead this world into a better place, where the forgotten can be remembered. The truth? The land has been overpopulated, and this is their last resort.
It's been like this for nearly a hundred years. Generations of the same monarchy have crept up on citizens and made them pay for their ancestors' mistakes.
Within a matter of time, Mira Stormkeep has the dead banded with her and her own plans.
They believe in her. She believes in them.
But can they all trust each other? Or does betrayal and disappointment await those who have hope?
Follow the journey between Mira, Zerrin, Octavia, Sember, and Edrytha as they fight for redemption of life.
This is their chance to change it all, except, in the process, they'll risk it all.

Blood and Thunder
You've just woken in the woods, away from everything you know. You're dazed and confused, unable to comprehend what's just happened. As you are coming to, images flash before your eyes of the last few days. Your parents were taken by the police, you were forced to run, to leave everything behind, to save yourself and your sister. But she isn't here. You panic and look around, you stop. You remember. She too was taken, you are alone. For now. This is what happened to Alexander, his life has just been turned upside down. The year is 2415, the world has both evolved and devolved. It isn't how people imagined. Flying cars, robots in every house, telekinetic pencils. No, they are only in comic books. Self driving cars. No robots in houses, but workhouses instead. Telekinetic pencils... that's possible, if you are gifted with the power of telekinesis. There are dark truths hidden behind closed doors, that only few know. Truths that if they got out, would bring the downfall of the government. A government that has been deceiving people for generations. But they haven't been as careful as they thought, because 100 years ago, one guy found out their secrets. 100 years ago, one guy started the rebellion that would bring about the end. From burning books, rewriting history and breaking human rights, this government will stop at nothing to make it seem that they are doing good. But people have had enough, the secret came out before. It's only a matter of time until it happens again. This time by a group of people that no one expected. Together they work to find out the truth, but things have gotten worse over the last century and this may not only bring around the downfall of the government. Armed only the powers they were born with, the group do everything they can to discover the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. But many have tried and failed, do they really stand a chance? Alexander doesn't think so, but his main concern is finding his sister, Rosia.Complete
