The Elite Chronicles

Book excerpt: On the northern continent of Tusstar, the Alliance of Perentol has endured for millennia under the guidance of the prosperous empire of Balanzar. The evils of generations past are all but destroyed, and the empire is thriving under the wise King Gothmir of Castar. But in the shadows, dark forces plot to shatter the centuries-long peace. Prince Azgor of Castar—last remaining heir to the Imperial Throne—has been kidnapped, and King Gothmir has gathered the greatest heroes in all of the Alliance, the Elite, to hunt down the orc chieftains who committed the heinous crime. As Balanzar’s most legendary warriors pursue the savage orcs, it may seem that this audacious offense will be justly punished, but that is not to be. Far more sinister evils still lurk on the edge of reality itself, awaiting their chance to overthrow the hated Alliance. These dark entities, the puppet masters behind the entire maelstrom of violence that threatens to engulf the Alliance, will stop at nothing to ensure that their malicious ends are met and the peace that has for so long enclosed the world is shattered. The empire shall know chaos.
