The selection process is a test of worthiness, and is quite painful. Ivyssa searches for help, and accidentally interrupts a sacred ritual. Because of her interference, an innocent lost their life. This injustice fuels the anger of a self appointed assassin who is determined to eliminate her at all costs. A building desire for revenge takes an unprecedented turn as a spell goes horribly wrong, taking all if Azulyria with it. Decades later, it is now up to an ex FBI agent and a Stone Walker to reverse the tragic fate that had befallen a land full of elemental powers and intrigue. Can Alexandra Nealy and Jared K...
