Book Cover & Preview Text
Edafos was a land divided into many continents, much like our own, filled with many different people, cultures and races. But just as our world was formed by war, so is that of Edafos. The Divines, god-like beings, forged the continents and oceans by their sheer destructive powers called Soul, and the few who could create life made sentient beings to aid them in their war, giving them the capacity for just as much power. It was after this war had ended that civilizations truly began to rise. Balheim was the Kingdom of the Nords. Deneaux was the Kingdom of the Deneauxmen, previously slaves who had broken free of the Nords. Den Hall was created by the peaceful beastmen, and Keels by the Elves.
The creation of Deneaux began and ended with the 300 Year War. With this, Deneaux’s power was solidified through the realm of Cardia, its continent, and peace was made all throughout its Northern half.
This peace would soon be shattered though. The Nords were not so complacent as to let their slaves go. Their Divines saw it fit that they should continue to conquer, and it was so. The Divines have once again began to move their hands across the realm. To them, it is but a game of chess, but to those living as pawns, life had just become a new hell.
Strangely enough, one pawn no longer decided to play by the rules. He was a young Nord, or Raider, as they were commonly called, growing up in Raider territory. He was to be a soldier to lead the charge and burn to Deneauxic banners like any other respectable Raider. But he was different. His path would be to challenge the Divines, amassing allies to stand with him, for he was not bound by the laws of the people or higher powers. He would act on instinct and faith, for that made a true hero…

About the Book
Cardia, one of the many continents in the realm of Edafos, has remained relatively peaceful after 300 Years of War, a war to conquer the land started by the god-like beings called Divines. Through unimaginable pain and suffering, peace had been achieved, though for only a little more than a century. Now as corrupt Kings and religious struggles arise, one boy whose path was set to conquer Cardia rebels against the ideals of his people. He forges his way across the land, coming at odds with many trials. Will he and his band of friends change the fate of Edafos, as well as their own, or will they simply follow the path that was laid out for them?
