The Heart of Anarand Saga
Each individual is ephemeral.
Each civilization is a fleeting breath.
Each world is doomed to the encroaching Chaos.
Yet, is all resistance truly fated for naught but suffering and anguish?
Four thousand years ago, a desperate gambit by the Overlords tore Anarand’aris from the grasping tendrils of advancing Chaos. They wielded a stolen power—the formidable artifact that would come to be known as the Heart of Anarand—unleashing its cosmic energies to seal the abyssal rifts, halt the invasion of Moritán and his countless legions, and shield their beloved world from his all-consuming hunger.
But four millennia is a vast expanse of time. The Overlords are long departed, and the once-glorious empire of Lir’Anarand has crumbled to dust and fading memory. Driven by an insatiable thirst for understanding, Seekers of Knowledge delve into the shadowed ruins, hunting for secrets of a bygone age—secrets as wondrous as they are perilous. Such potent lore inevitably attracts the grasping hands of Anarand’s power-hungry elite, who spill blood and weave treachery to claim these ancient marvels for their own dark designs. Yet, they are not the only players in this deadly game; the Lords of Chaos, ever patient, are meticulously gathering the very keys that could unlock Anarand’aris to Moritán’s eternal dominion.
The Pillars of Anarand’aris tremble on the brink of collapse. The ancient war for the world’s very soul is poised to erupt anew. For millennia, immortal powers have clashed in a timeless battle for supremacy, but now, the emergence of a singular, new individual threatens to shatter the long-held balance. Whose side he will choose, and how he will sway the scales of fate, only the unfolding currents of time will reveal.
The Heart of Anarand
Book I: Awakening
Lord Kael Vorat, Count of Amalay in the northernmost reaches of Kiriador, stands as a reluctant guardian of the Border with the desolate Wastes. But it is not the myriad of dangers in the frontier that haunts his nights; rather, it is the vivid, disturbing dreams of a past that refuses to stay buried. His sleep is tormented by a specter from his adventurous past: a fiery, crimson-haired beauty, an immortal adversary who has relentlessly sought his demise across the years. She is his deadliest dream, a waking nightmare soon to be unleashed.
Her name is Ra’maen, an Et’eliana of terrifying power, and for a decade, her lifeless form has been sealed within the shadowed crypt beneath Castle Vorat as a grim trophy of their lethal dance, her heart pierced by his own hand—and not for the first time. But the enchantments binding her are fading. Soon, she will reawaken, her fury stoked by imprisonment, her desire for their deadly game—and for Kael himself—burning anew.
Yet, even as this inevitable confrontation looms, a more immediate crisis demands Kael’s full attention. A desperate plea from his brother, Arin, ignites a perilous quest, forcing the Count to abandon his seat of power and plunge into a shadowy world of intrigue and escalating danger. Pursued by relentless foes, Kael finds himself at the center of an ancient conflict and on the trail of a mysterious conspiracy against the world and its very foundations. To confront the encroaching darkness and save those he holds dear, he must first confront the startling truth of his own lineage and unearth secrets buried since the dawn of ages—secrets that will irrevocably alter his destiny and the fate of his world.
