Facets of Color, a Zyearth Anthology

Tymon Azure is a Golden Guardian taking one last mission before passing the torch into his son's hands. And it's a doozy of mission too - visit Erdoglyan, a planet of vicious, magical dinosaurs and find out why their magic focus jewels are causing them to rampage. Luckily Tymon is good friends with King Shir, Born of Stardust, the ruler of the planet. He's also a vicious, two meter tall raptor with fire magic and an attitude to match. Tymon can only hope he made the right decision in keeping his son away from this dangerous place.
Jaden Azure, son of Tymon, and newly minted Golden Guardian finds himself on Erdoglyan with his partner Dyne to complete an unpleasant task - retrieve his father's body. But immediately things aren't right. The body doesn't match Tymon's. His Gem is nowhere to be found. And Tymon's reports were clear - there's a liar in the King's Court - and Jaden is determined to find out who. And, if his luck holds out, find his father alive as well.
