Finding a Path in a Seemingly Meaningless World... Set within the realm of Achimede, a world far from thought and time, the ancient demon Eosfóros has polluted magic and has thus made it completely evil. To add to his power, he has created the Qua Eiríni: five enchanted objects full of extraordinary power and might. Several centuries later, the once great and glorious Helgos Empire has fallen to civil war. The nation is divided between the malevolent Velorians, the servants of Eosfóros, and the resilient but flawed Ergossians, who wish to free the world from the clutches of magic. It is now up to Eman, a young Ergossian noble, and his many friends to seek out the Qua Eiríni under the leadership of the wise but mysterious priest, Simon. Along their way, they will have to make a stop for supplies in a strange nation called Mahali, unaware of what is yet to come, and the many dangers that will come their way... J.L.
