Several millennia ago a war raged between the factions of dragonkind. With their world ravaged, the Kaldean Alliance forged the Amulet of Draconic Control and the Tethering Stone, and banished their foes to other realms, saving Kalda from utter destruction. Fearing the power of the Amulet, the survivors secreted it away. But now knowledge of the Amulet has resurfaced-and in the wrong hands, war could erupt anew. Long ago, men harnessed the Channels of Power, creating tevisrals-devices capable of manifesting magic. But men weren't the only ones to accomplish such feats. Dragons crafted the most sophisticated tevisrals. These shaped the world, defining civilization of man and elf alike. Over the centuries, the people of Kalda have fallen into a dark age, where elves are estranged from men and dragons have retreated into legend. Tevisrals are scarce and men are willing to trade everything for them. But there are some who wish to bury the past, and in their lands, possessing tevisrals is tantamount to treason. Still, daring men scour the world in search of Kalda's past. One such man, the scholar Krindal, seeks an ancient order known as the Keepers of Truth and Might. He yearns for their knowledge, long feared lost. Prince Kaescis Midivar also searches for these Keepers. The assassination of his uncle, the emperor of Mindolarn, killed his hopes of peace with his empire's enemies. His empire's survival hinges upon unearthing the Keepers' secrets. An aging warrior, Cornar Dol'shir, longs to be home with his wife. But his retirement must wait, as his band of adventurers is recruited to help find the Keepers' hidden temple on the Isle of Klindala. Haunted by his tragic past, Iltar, the Son of Adrin, does not join in the search for the Keepers. Instead, he seeks to unravel the mysteries held within a volume of prophecy foretelling the advent of the Unspoken One and the return of the Crimson Eye.

Meet Thomas. His life seemed perfect until one day he gets in a tragic accident. He is taken to a local hospital where he thinks he will make a speedy recovery, but soon finds out that not every hospital wants to make you better. Some just want to test your sanity.

"Where is Jason? Where is my brother?!" At this point I'm yelling and soon after I finished my sentence, two nurses and a doctor stormed into the room making both my parents jump up from their seats. "Mom." Stray tears roll down my face. One of the nurses is ushering for my parents to leave the room. "Mom!" I shout and the doctor came to my bed with a needle. I stared with panic in my eyes as she moves closer. "It's going to be okay Jasmine. Just breathe. In and out, can you do that for me?" Her voice calm and friendly. As I glance one last time at my mother before she was almost out of the room she said, "I'm sorry." Before the doctor with the needle injected something in my arm that made my eyes feel droopy and I started to feel weak with the cold liquid running through my veins. Those words repeating themselves in my head while I blacked out. I'm sorry ~~~~ Meet Jasmine Lawrence. When an accident caused her to lose parts of her memory, including those of her brother.

It happened in August. One morning she was here, laughing and singing by his side, and the next morning, she was gone. It took a single day for her to disappear, for her to leave an empty space in their apartment and in his heart. Her smell still lingered over the towels of the bathroom, the covers of their bed she had neatly folded, that last morning, still laid untouched on her side, and the flowers she had put in a vase on the dining table were slowly withering away. He had never seen it coming, that she would be gone so fast. He never expected that she could vanish from his life the way she had appeared, so suddenly and unexpectedly. He had never expected it, that he could be left all alone after knowing what it was like to be with her. It happened in August, but the clouds would linger over him for a long time. Min Yoongi AU.
