Tales of Aetheria Book III : Blood and tears

After the devastating battle with Chernabog in the Borealyn Peaks, Tsuyoshi and his weary crew leave the icy heights behind, haunted by the loss of his master, Evanora. Tsuyoshi is overwhelmed by grief and guilt, struggling to find the strength to move forward and honor her sacrifice. Yet, peace remains elusive-new threats loom on the horizon.
Their respite is short-lived when Minerva is suddenly abducted, coerced to return to her homeland by her parents' chosen fiancé-a union that threatens to entangle her in political schemes. Her disappearance sparks a fierce debate within the group: Tsuyoshi, driven by the need to recover the remaining fragments of the ancient relics, advocates for continuing their quest undeterred; Fengar, deeply concerned for Minerva's safety, insists on diverting their mission to rescue her.
Tensions ignite as these conflicting priorities threaten to fracture their unity, forcing each member to confront their own desires and fears. The clash between Tsuyoshi and Fengar not only risks their group's future but also endangers the very fate of their world. As alliances shift and secrets unravel, the crew must navigate treacherous waters-balancing personal loss, political intrigue, and the relentless pursuit of their ultimate goal.
Will they overcome their internal strife and forge a path to salvation? Or will their divisions doom their quest-and perhaps, the entire realm?
