Race to Destiny (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798896941194)

A battle for survival, a race against time.

The gods created the world, each crafting wonders to outshine the others. But one god, scorned and bitter, birthed a creation of pure malice-the first evil. In an attempt to undo the harm, the gods forged the Destiny Stone, a powerful artifact capable of cleansing the land of its blight.

The Stone was lost, hidden by forces of darkness.

Now, a half-crazed prophet, a Doomsayer, has had a vision that reveals its location. The gods, aware of his discovery, call each their own chosen champion to claim it. Driven by the hope of saving their own people, they seek along a path is fraught with peril. Haggersath Giftgiver, a determined Dwarrow smith, and Aieren Rioga, an outcast Sylvan disowned by the magic that spawned him, ply along paths of inevitable collision.

Yet, neither knows that Noshid-the fallen god of fire, malice and destruction-has his own plans.

As they race toward the Destiny Stone, more than the gods have set their path as well, Noshid's followers grow stronger. Betrayal and power struggles tear apart alliances, and in the end, will the Destiny Stone with the power of the gods fall into the wrong hands. Noshid, claiming it would become all-powerful. He would unleash a terrible vengeance-consuming all the races in a wave of destruction.

Will any survive the gods' game, or is all hope lost?

Race to Destiny is the first in a riveting 5-book epic fantasy series perfect for fans of the original Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game, The Silmarillion, The Lightbringer, and The Wheel of Time.
