Valley of Embers

It is said that in times of war, the world chooses its own champions. These are the Landkist. Elemental warriors blessed by sky, river, stone and, in the case of a select few, fire itself. For generations, the flame-wielding Embers have been the last line of defense against the nightmare creatures of the World Apart. Now, their light is fading. When Kole, Ember of Last Lake is wounded by a demon unlike any they have seen before, the wise believe it is a sign of an ancient enemy returned - a powerful Sage known as the Eastern Dark. While the Valley is plunged into a war beyond reckoning, the land's greatest champions rise up to meet the coming threat. But even the combined might of the last Embers and their elemental kin may not be enough to stem the tide of darkness. Kole has never believed in destiny, but with his people hanging on the precipice and his home on the brink of ruin, he must discover the limits of the one power he fears above all else. His own. Tolkien meets Miyazaki in a new breed of epic fantasy, where elemental warriors clash with immortal wizards and ancient gods. Start reading the 3,000-page epic today!
