I let him go. It was one of the most bittersweet moments I've ever had. Harlem was never the same when he left to chase his dreams. The same dream we used to stay up at night talking about. I watched from the side lines as he achieved his success. And I was nothing but happy for him. Life had to keep moving forward. I, had to keep moving forward. And I did, at least so I thought. When news surfaces that East was back in Harlem I can't help but feel terrified. After all this time what would happened between us? Would he even acknowledge me? Life can be a freckle bitch sometimes. Giving you second chances even when you didn't think it was possible.

Peace can't last forever when war is the law of man. For years, Eli's village was content to ignore the signs. ...the silence, the whispers, the cold... Then in one faithless hour, they were gone. With blood in his ears and Aldyth's hand tucked in his own, Eli runs. Away from his family, away from his home, and away from the soldiers of the East Cardinal, who rain terror down upon the Confederate cities. Unbeknownst to them, Taurus, an elven huntsman, tracks the train of the Easterners. He was a man looking to find himself, to hear beyond the screaming, misery, and death. And with a few well-shot arrows and a splash of elvish magic, the three's fates are tied, and Eli, Aldyth, and Taurus find themselves bound together as they venture on toward the mysterious North Cardinal. With each mile they cover, the tension builds. Eli's family is captured with chains chaffing their wrists. The East is growing and none can resist. Aldyth is changing; her eyes glow with blood. And elves can't be trusted, no matter what. And the only thing Eli can do about it is run as hard as he can toward the border of the North Cardinal, a task that many say is likened with death. //Trailer by @Tinkertaydust// //Copyright © 2016 by copyright.com// //Edited by @skygardens// //cover by @stardust24601//

In a world on the brink of collapse, where the seasons and the forces of nature are locked in perpetual war, two kingdoms rise as the last bastions of hope.

At the heart of this epic battle, Gwenn and Nora forge a deep and unshakable friendship, despite the wary glances and skeptical whispers of their respective peoples.

Discover this tale where friendship, power, and royalty intertwine, and where the fate of four kingdoms lies in the hands of those who dare to defy the darkness. "Four stones to seal the balance. Four kingdoms to preserve it. But a single fracture... and the seasons will shatter."
