Genre: YA Fantasy
KINGDOMS FALL, ONE DESTINY AT A TIME
Some time ago in a land since long
forgotten, an evil force by the name of
Lord Yrimwaque – servant of the Threat of Rai – threatens to
destroy everything and prepare the world for a harvest. The only
thing that stands in his way are three reluctant heroes: Tyler, his
girlfriend KimberlyAnn and his best friend Blaze Morrison, who have
been recruited by the followers of the Light of Rai. Upon their
journey of knowledge, TJ and his friends are forced into an unlikely
encounter with a creature of legend, and find themselves in the midst
of an ancient battle between the Light of Rai and the Threat of Rai,
with our world hanging in the balance. As the Light of Rai teach them
to hone their various gifts and talents for the greater good of the
kingdom, faith is restored, in the hopes that they will be able to
stop Lord Yrimwaque and vanquish the evil horde he desires to unleash
upon the land. Amid plots and counter-plots, tragedy and betrayal,
victory and terror, allies and enemies, the fate of the land hangs in
the balance, as the lines between good and evil become more skewed.
But will all their efforts be enough, or will the kingdom be plunged
into darkness forever?

The United, The Realm of the Light Book 1
The warrior patiently waited as another female took some water, then a third. After a couple
more females started to drink, the warrior saw a male approach. With snakelike reflexes, the
warrior coiled his legs and aimed for his prey. The warrior noiselessly sprang at an elk, a female
this time. The warrior flew through the air, twisted his body, slit the throat of his prey, and landed
on the ground before the herd realized what had happened. At the sight of the human, the herd
turned and fled the clearing beside the spring.
The warrior immediately started to prepare his catch for transport. As he was thanking the
creature for giving her life so he could sustain the life of his family, a red light reflected on his
face. Upon finishing his prayer, the warrior walked toward the red light. He entered into a cavern
he never noticed before. There were shelves carved into the wall holding glass jars that reeked
of blood. Then he saw it.
On a shelf next to a boiling cauldron of an unknown substance, there lay a beautiful necklace
made of gold, with a blood-red stone medallion, much larger and more elegant than any gem
the warrior had ever seen.
