During the reign of 2nd Cleric the colonies across the continents of Halfryta fought. In order to establish their own dominion & power, and place in history – for six generations honourable battle raged across these holy lands. In the face of the Holy Temple and its' counter part Halfryta's Scions, the Lords of emerged a true ruling faction when the fighting was brought to an end by 6th generation Scion, bearer of fire: Azure King Aohd. Few non-human settlements remain in open sight near civilization due indiscriminate torment. Peace came at a cost. Eight years since the end of the lords' war: the divide between the Adora Temple, The Lords, and The Scions is clearer than ever. Now, Aohd's son: Marise, soon to be crowned, 7th generation scion of fire and his friends must find for themselves destiny is as choice – as it is truth. The stench of chaos lingers still, and it is why the scions exist. Has a new age of order truly begun? Or will chaos tip the scales yet? Only The Goddess Halfryta knows. Follow the journey of 7th generation scions Marise, Eurus, Maralah, and Fenris in their youth as they learn and grow together at Adora Templum – following their coronation as bearers of the scions’ duty. Journey with young Fenris as he settles the deep inner conflict between his conscience and his obligation to his family and nation. Torn by the actions of his father, a powerful and violent king seceding from the holy teachings – siding with the lords seeking to militarize the continent on the heels of the Lord’s War. Fenris, a young boy far too mature for his age tasked too early with drawing the line between personal duty, and destiny.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wrapped in the glow of the computer or phone screen, we cruise websites; we skim and skip. We glance for a brief moment at whatever catches our eye and then move on. Slow Reading in a Hurried Age reminds us of another mode of reading--the kind that requires our full attention and that has as its goal not the mere gathering of information but the deeper understanding that only good books can offer. Slow Reading in a Hurried Age is a practical guide for anyone who yearns for a more meaningful and satisfying reading experience, and who wants to sharpen reading skills and improve concentration. David Mikics, a noted literary scholar, demonstrates exactly how the tried-and-true methods of slow reading can provide a more immersive, fulfilling experience. He begins with fourteen preliminary rules for slow reading and shows us how to apply them. The rules are followed by excursions into key genres, including short stories, novels, poems, plays, and essays. Reading, Mikics says, should not be drudgery, and not mere escape either, but a way to live life at a higher pitch. A good book is a pathway to finding ourselves, by getting lost in the words and works of others.
