FORMER TITLE: Élan: A Youngblood World "Beware that you become not the very monster you ought to slay." Five friends embark on a quest to thwart an all-out cryptid-human war ... while the human-clothed creature among them resists the urging hunger to ravage his companions. When the Cardinal Empire and Nyrhaea's time-forsaken creatures declare war on the human world, an immortal dark entity in the guise of a human, a broken swordsman, a spoiled electric-manipulating technocrat, an unhinged fire-breathing boy, and a magic-less girl whose very existence defies the Laws of Mahika, venture to stop the apocalyptic war. All the while dealing with the complications of entering adulthood. With the grotesque inside him growing hungrier by the day, threatening him of the looming hour he'll fulfill destiny's bidding to be the key to the end of the world, the entity resorts to a mysterious girl who could only be his last hope to free him from the shackles of fate--an antidote given not without an undefined price. But how long can he endure to bury the roots of the calling past? And what are they willing to risk to liberate a world beyond saving where trust, sanity, and long-term camaraderie are put to the test? *~* Contains a few depictions of blood, violence, and dark psychological elements.

All 3 Books | Friday Updates [Fans of The Stormlight Archive may enjoy this book] "The world was born from nothingness... and to nothingness it may yet return." For centuries, Guardians protected the mortal realm - until the powers, and their wielders, vanished without a trace after a war that nearly shattered the world. Now, 50 years later the powers reappear in six unsuspecting youths who are thrust into a dangerous fight for survival. As chaos stirs in the kingdoms and demons claw their way into the overworld, the newly awakened Guardians must harness their powers and uncover the truth behind the reappearance of an old evil. But something doesn't add up. The deeper they dig, the more twisted the truth becomes-and the more uncertain their path forward. Whispers of an exiled king. A god-killer. A plan that may have been centuries in the making. As destinies unravel and loyalties are tested, one question lingers: What if saving the world... means trusting the very force that could end it? An epic trilogy of gods, mortals, and fates intertwined-where things could have been set in motion long before anyone could have anticipated. For better or for worse, it's all in the hands of the Guardians now...

Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.
