Awakening (Book One in The Crystals of Syre‪)‬

It was said that, at the beginning of time, the Stars created for the Eight Kingdoms of Syre each a secret weapon; a Stone of Power, with majiks beyond the imagining. But that was only a myth. By the Second Age of Syre, the majiks, inlaid in Eight Stones of Power, had gone dormant. Life went on without their influence, and the memories of a word dependent on majik slowly faded...

Now in its Third Age, the current kingdoms of Syre have nearly forgotten what powers they were bestowed; however, enemies from beyond the borders threaten the peace of the people. Fighting has been long and exhausting. There is no clear end in sight. But there are those who remember the ancient majiks given to the kingdoms; those who, in fact, had close ties with this unimaginable power. They remember its potential. Yet, seeking out the Stones of Power seems a measure for the desperate--or it could bring about the salvation Syre is in desperate need of to push the attackers from the kingdoms once and for all. Only time will tell.

The powers of the stones seem to be awakening...a time of majik is upon the Eight Kingdoms of Syre once again...
