Synopsis
In a world of six known elemental magical gifts, with a mysterious seventh yet to be discovered, an invasion of fire-wielding giants threatens the eastern continent. The story follows three converging protagonists: Tallynd, a soldier defending her kingdom and sons; Dervan, a historian drawn into espionage while transcribing a mysterious bard's tales; and Abhi, a hunter who discovers he possesses a rare gift that may prove crucial to defeating the giants. As their stories converge, ordinary people are forced to rise and become legends in a war that will reshape the continent.
