Dàr was born to a long line of loyal protectors. He completed his training at a young age and was posted in the Yurita Highlands, a region known for its rugged terrain and frequent earthquakes. His career was very promising, until he stumbled on a strange object in the center of a meadow.
The moment he saw the object, Dàr knew he should report his discovery to the scholars, so they can investigate, so they can make it disappear. But he did not. His decision changed many lives, including his own.
Years later, as Dàr contemplates the whole of his life, he remembers the strange discovery and the choice he made as a young protector. Long buried memories resurface. Now consumed by regret, Dàr wonders if it is too late to make amends.
Sometimes saving a world means rebelling against it.
In an age long forgotten, nineteen hundred and eighty-three Seals were forged—magical disks placed around the world to repel the cosmic chaos beyond.
In the centuries that followed, the Sentinels were tasked with protecting those Seals. For countless generations, they succeeded.
Until now.
At six years old, Shéana is recruited to the order of the Sentinels. A decade later, she displays powers unlike anything any Sentinel has shown before. When she feels the world stirring in pain, she knows the shield surrounding Tyronia has been breached. The great chain is broken. And the order of the Sentinels lies in discord.
In the isolated village of Valdur, young Arth struggles to belong. Spurned by the other children, he ventures south to the endless mountains, and the strange barrier marking the edge of existence. The Final Horizon. Here he witnesses the impossible: a man emerging from beyond the veil—where nothing can possibly exist. A man Arth knows he must protect.
Now the fate of two worlds rests on a knife’s edge. Only the courage of a village boy and the power of a fledgling Sentinel can save them.
But to save their worlds, they must reject all they’ve been taught, leaving behind everyone and everything they’ve ever known.
The first draft of this story was started and completed as part of the NaNoWriMo 2016 challenge. It was planned as the second in a series of short novels set in Tyronia, following Arth de Valdur as he uncovers secrets about the reality of his world. It follows the events of The Stranger of Ul Darak. As I continued working on Stranger, it became evident that the stories in the series needed to be longer (full-length novels), and thus, this project is now on hold, pending the completion of Stranger.
