Desperate Times

Fate of Periand, #1

Upon the free continent of Periand, the scattered factions of Men fight between themselves, each determined to destroy the others. As war sweeps across nations, the Elves look to their own borders and the Dwarves fortify their mountain strongholds, but nowhere is beyond the reach of Moragil's desire for dominion. For power. Deep within the bowels of the mountains, an ancient amulet has lain forgotten for centuries. With the power to draw upon demonic magic, it must not fall into the grasp of the Faceless Lord's servants.

Against all odds, the amulet is brought to the Elven city of Pathosien, yet even here it cannot be kept safe from the spies of Moragil. It must be destroyed to deny the destructive power from being wrought upon the free lands, and Men, Elves and Dwarves must prepare to face an evil they should never have allowed to fall into forgotten legend. Charged with ensuring the amulet's fate, can the Elven warrior who defied Moragil's predecessor now find champions to aid in this task? Or are the nations too corrupt and divided by hatred to undertake so vital a duty? The fate of Periand hangs in the balance, for if they fail then all shall burn in a demon's wrath.
