For two thousand years the races inhabiting Rirospen have enjoyed peace and prosperity following the great battle at Daedhel. Malignant forces have discovered their way back, vowing to accomplish what they had failed to do before. Death and destruction follow in their wake, spreading terror in the midst of the races.
Lainil is a young elvin maiden, a prodigy among the forest people for her affinity with the four magical powers. Some fear her, others wait to see her destiny unfold, and one man will come to desire her.
Teron is a Thand Warden, sworn to protect the lands. Forbidden to take a mate, he is determined to resist any temptation...be it flesh or power.
The fate of Rirospen is depending on Lainil's latent, untrained powers to awaken. Evil waits for no one. Will she embrace her calling to magic in time to thwart the spreading darkness? Does she have the inner strength to defy the codes of the Thand Wardens and follow her heart?

The Zero Hour | #Wattys2016
The world as we know it is controlled by Nobles - powerful wizards that have power over everything. It is the age of ice; a time of ages past, lost in our historical records and unbeknownst to the world today. The commoners who don't wield magic live under their thrall as slaves, doing everything humanly possible to avoid earning their wrath. A single misstep could spell torture or death. One morning, a commoner accidentally takes matters into his own hands by standing up against a prominent Noble's son. The ensuing altercation enrages the boy's father Malevolent Drake, who delivers an ultimatum: A hundred commoners are to die in three days to restore his house's honor, or the elimination of the entire commoner camp. Faced with that reality, the leader of the camp hatches a plot to bring in outside help to combat the Noble army. With time running short, nobody really knows if the plan will even work - given the fact that the Nobles themselves have a few tricks up their sleeves as well. Tricks that could spell doom for everyone involved... * Highest ranked #63 in Adventure (Apr'16) & #708 in Fantasy (May'16). Updates every Tuesday & Friday :)Complete
