Darkness is stirring in the world of Valdar,
and an ancient prophecy holds the key to victory.

Jason’s world is falling apart, and he’s just found out he’s an Immortal, whatever that means. Nightmares and fragments of memories have haunted him throughout his life, and to unravel the mystery, he will have to find Saepius the Wizard.

Darkness is stirring in the world of Valdar, and Jason finds himself the target of The Masked One, a terrifying assassin with unknown motives. Hunted by minotaurs and facing the rising power of the Shadow Elves, the odds are overwhelming. Conflict and betrayal within enemy ranks will not slow them down.

With the help of mercenaries, Jason will have to cross the Elven Forest and survive the treacheries of the spirit-filled world of Mordellan Swamp. Sometimes swords and sorcery are not enough. When he comes face-to-face with a vengeful dragon, he’ll encounter the hardest part of his journey: The choice of whether or not to fulfill his destiny.

An action-packed epic fantasy with themes of friendship, courage, and our search for meaning and truth. A story to remind us there is always hope.

Slowly, he crumpled to the ground as darkness and pain engulfed him. Just when all seemed lost, the dream changed again. Now he found himself on a high rock ledge, looking out at a great emerald sea. Everything felt new and serene. The pain and fear had vanished. A sense of calm wonder overtook him as Jason stared across the endless waves. A strong voice, tremendous and wise, spoke calmly, saying, “Always remember this: I chose you. Remain in the light, my son, and your path will not fail.”
