Paths of Vengeance

In a world where magic reigns supreme, nineteen-year-old R. Morcen is the seventh Soul-Wizard of the Arcane Academy, essentially the most powerful being on the Lost Continent. Promoted to the highest wizarding rank in the Academy, he begins to discover that the daily life at the Academy as he knew it was but a smiling facade, with deep dark secrets being covered up and whispered to one another behind the backs of the others.

Simultaneously, in the condemned half-elf city of Edgewood, Xero Batlissa lives the way of the sword, having such skill and speed with the blade that he is often referred to as the golden ghost of the Edgewood. However, since the half-elf race have been scorned and held in contempt from time immemorial, his feats gather no fame and recognition outside his sheltered community.

Life, however, is not all song and dance, as the two come to realise quickly under completely different circumstances and when their peaceful world of the Lost Continent suddenly turns chaotic, the all-important questions that surface up are but simple ones.

In this epic tale of snow and flame; steel and shadow; the orcs and the undead; dragons, demons and eternal darkness, is there really any hope left at all for the goodly races?

If society is supposedly governed by wisdom, then why is it that the clueless broken world is deemed right in our logical stead?

What is good any longer, if another’s perspective of the same good is evil? 

What is real anymore; and what then is not?
