The Vålnad: Book 1 of the Elementals Series

"Bound by fate, bound by spirit, bound from beginning to end, you are vålnad, a hero to man, a destroyer to the Dark"
-Vålnad Proverb
The Vålnad were hunters, hunters of the Dark and those who wield it, that was until one of their own betrayed them. The Empress and her Dark army have taken over Airia, and hunted the Vålnad to near extinction. The last remnants of the order continue their fight against the Dark and the Empress, but as the war goes on more and more Vålnad are killed, with few of their safe houses and under a thousand members the Vålnad has to fight to survive with their corporeal allies.

"No matter the fight, no matter the odds, no matter the cost. We fight to survive, we fight to protect, to save, to live and let live. We defend those who live here, no matter the species, no matter the race, no matter the gender, we are the last line of defense between the Dark and those whom it wishes to destroy."
