A Blaze Against the Ruin

A Blaze Against the Ruin

by

Julie Janis

Derrick and his friends made it to the Elven Land…but not how they expected they would.

While they strategize to figure out how to destroy Darkness from the High Realm, all of them struggle with challenges they must face in order to rise above the Darkness and fully embrace their potential.

Derrick wants to become the king he was born to be, but the Darkness seeping through him from the dagger makes him question his abilities.

Zamora does her best to appear strong in front of others as she figures out how to commune with the gods, but the trauma from her past is pulling her down.

Elias works with the Rhythmists to destroy Darkness, but confusion lingers within him as he grapples with which side he should take: to help Derrick or to help his family.

Kota wants to help Derrick and her people, but how could she when she's lost in another world.

As Derrick, Zamora, Elias, and Kota confront these trials, Killian's power rises and his hunt for Derrick and something more has become more pressing. Without a plan and a way to break through their challenges, the High Realm will only succumb to ruin.
