A Journey Cast in Fire (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781972446003)

The Second Great War is coming. This time, the world may not survive.

Kaden Sheppard never asked to inherit a broken crown, but destiny has chosen him.

Guided by the mysterious wizard Bhalla, Kaden sets out on a perilous quest to reclaim the divine Armor and Sword of Orealus, the only power capable of standing against the rising darkness of the Dark Lord Lucient.

He will not stand alone.

At his side is a fellowship forged through fire and blood: a dwarven king, a fairy queen, an elven prince, and loyal allies bound by courage, sacrifice, and the fragile hope of unity. Together, they journey across haunted ruins, war-torn kingdoms, and lands where ancient evils stir in the shadows.

But as war draws near and whispers of betrayal begin to spread, Kaden must face a choice that could change everything.

Will he rise as the king the world needs, or fall to the darkness growing within him?

To save those he loves, Kaden must rise from the ashes of his past and embrace a destiny he cannot escape before Empyrea is lost forever.
