In a quest to save the vestige of their breaking realm, five feuding warriors must overcome monsters and sorcery to rekindle a magic light and turn back the wicked Shadow Mage.

SYNOPSIS:

Ulfer, a mysterious, brooding swordsman emerges from the darkened wilderness in search of the greatest warrior in the realm of Humanity. His purpose is to guide that warrior to a legendary path, the Path of Champions, which will ultimately equip and empower whoever survives its challenges with higher power to combat the evil Shadow.

After saving the life of a village captain, he is granted permission to host a tournament to aid his search.

Following days of fighting, three diverse warriors emerge which appear equally matched; Azir, Jael and Nephtaia. Reluctant to surrender his best healer and his right hand man to travel with a woman who nearly supplanted him, the village captain grants upholds his promise in exchange for an oath from Ulfer.

At Ulfer's discretion a fourth warrior, a great axe-wielding Northman named Theign, join's s the company on the way to the Path of Champions.

Though Ulfer leads the company through treacherous terrain and enemy territory, the greatest threat to the quest remains the divisions within the group.

When they reach the desolation of the ruined capital city of Humanity which once illuminated the entrance to The Path, bonds of fellowship break and the wicked Shadow Mage surrounds them in a terrible trap. Ulfer must face his own dark past let go of the lie if anyone is going to survive to reach the path and carry on the Quest for Humanity.

This is the first installment of a completed trilogy.
