Darkness is coming, and only a man stands in its way.
For eons, Ageis Seif guarded the Abyss Gate, fighting back the creatures of evil and dark, a standing flame in a miasmic fog of dark. Seif has long since fought to keep humans safe, but will never be known of, and never leave his fire post. Until now. Darkness is coming, and only a man, and a stranger, stand in its way.
Artemis has always had a fascination with collecting arcane artifacts. Her search for the objects of power in the Dragon Range far to the north has led her to the castle, long since abandoned by humans for reasons lost to time. Artemis discovers why. She opens a portal accidentally, and unknowingly pulls the Ageis Seif into the world of men. But the Abyss Gates are now open, and the only way to stop the evil of the dark is to awaken the Ether Lords and defeat the beasts of the Abyss in a desperate fight to save mankind.
Darkness is coming, and only a knight, and a traveller, stand in its way.

The Age of Embers.
The Age of Embers. In the shadowed dawn of the world, before mortal tongues sang of sorrow or glory, dragons ruled the skies as stewards of balance, born of flame and memory. Among them, Ignis, the Eternal Flame, bore the wisdom of ages, upholding harmony between sacred fire and the ever-changing world. But where fire glows, shadow rises, and mankind emerged from dust with the will to choose, forging a fragile place in a world not made for them. What began in awe twisted into envy. Reverence soured into fear. And from fear, betrayal was born. Thus fell the dragons, hunted and broken beneath steel and pride. The noble Solis deceived. The wrathful Caelum struck down. And at last, only Ignis remained-her fate entwined with a queen, whose choices would echo into legend. Told in eight short, sweeping books, The Age of Embers is a tale of war and wisdom, of legacy and loss. It is the passing of an age... and the uncertain birth of another. Yet even as the fire dims, one ember endures. A dragon hatchling, Vaelith, born into silence and guided by a lone sage, awakens in the deep places of the world. And with him, a question rekindles: Can fire, once broken by fear, rise in understanding?Complete
