Twenty-five years have passed since the conclusion of the second generation of the prophecies of the Coromor and the victory against Shau-ling and his children the Phasia. However, the shocking conclusion of that battle has resulted in a decree from the Creator that shakes the very foundation of the war between the Light and the Shadow. Two realities now exist: One in which the heroes of the Light have enjoyed their hard-won peace as they prepare for the coming of the war again, minus their greatest legends. In the other reality, one under the thumb of the malicious Phasia, the legendary champions of the Light still fight a seemingly hopeless battle to turn the tide and rescue victory from the jaws of defeat. But there is a new threat hanging over the embattled world, the promise of total destruction at the hands of the Creator himself, if neither the Light nor the Shadow claim victory in both realities. The patron of the Light, Emries, and the Lord of Shadow, Shau-ling, have no choice but to resort to unthinkable measures as they vie to exterminate one another. Will the reign of the third Coromor end before it has a chance to begin? Can the heroes of the Light triumph in a world where all hope has been lost? What role will the enigmatic first Chosen One Aerith Seth play in the evolving battle? Witness the fates of two intertwined realities unfold in The Quietus of Fate: Dark Mirror.
Logan Ranthall and the People of the Dragon, his group of faithful friends and followers, have felt the sting of loss and death that has rattled them to the core. In the wake of disillusionment from the fateful meeting with Cedric Binosear and the mysterious disappearance of Aryx Terian, a new shepherd appears to show them the way. This new guide, Emries, sets Logan on the first steps down a dangerous path that will lead him into a confrontation with his long lost brother, and then ultimately with the Master of Shadows, Shau-ling. But new revelations and dangers await, even for those loyal to the Shadows, as a new winged assassin hunts the phasia under orders from their master. The truth about the war between the Light and the Shadow is poised to be revealed. Will Logan and his companions be ready for the consequences of learning those truths? Will more members of the People of the Dragon fall on the path to victory? Will the climactic battle between the Dragon and Shau-ling plunge the world into Shadow forever? Or, will Light prevail? The second generation of the prophecies of the Coromor speed dangerously toward its conclusion in the third chapter of The Quietus of Fate: Future's Thorns.
The newly-minted Lord Dragon, Logan Ranthall, and his intrepid band of faithful companions have faced darkness unlike any they imagined possible, and still they delve deeper into the shadows, knowing that Shau-ling and his followers lie in wait. Death has swirled around them from the inception of their journey, and they have gained as well as lost allies at every turn. Still, their enigmatic guide, the stoic and secretive Aryx Terian leads them towards their fateful meeting with the former savior Lord Cedric Binosear. But the Shadows hold secrets of their own. Silent tensions between forces loyal to Shau-ling are held just at the edge of a full civil war, but the growing madness of the Viper could push those tensions past the breaking point. Mysteries and lies conspire to destroy the world that the Dragon is trying desperately to save, but a dark presence haunts Logan's steps; a confrontation that can only end in blood. Terrifying and shocking consequences await those ensnared by the prophecies of the Coromor, as the war between the light and the darkness intensifies in the second chapter of The Quietus of Fate: Destiny's Call.
Darkness grows in the west as forces gather in and around the Heart of Stone.

Can mortality win out over immortality? Can humanity triumph in the face of divinity? Will the malevolence of the Creator fail when faced with the altruism of those willing to sacrifice everything to see another sunrise? The battle for the soul of Creation is about to begin. Peek into the minds of those heroes brave enough to stand against impossible odds in The Quietus of Fate: Fragments of Evanescence.
