Searching For A Guardian: A Dark Anthems Saga

By: Varelle, Jack

The war has raged for a decade, but is the greatest danger in the hero they fear to trust?

For a thousand years, the world of Earthelle banned fire magic, believing the forbidden element could only lead to devastation. Now, the final magical city of Souvanence is training its students for the bloody war against a powerful Demon Lord. Coll Wardeman was born with the banished ability of fire: a unique gift, or a devastating curse, right at the tipping point of war.

Burdened by a history he never created, Coll is plagued by doubt. Is he destined to be the villain of the prophecy, or the key to saving his country? While the world sees a threat, his best friend and rival, Rogue Lee, believes he is the one hope needed to end the war.

When a chilling prophecy surfaces, it divides the city: The prophecy announces that a legendary Guardian of Sorcery exists to save them, causing some to clutch at hope while others fear it's a distraction from the horrors closing in. It is this announcement that sends Rogue and her friends on a desperate search for the key to finding the Guardian. Meanwhile, Coll is forced into action, showing the people his gift of the banished power and defending their homes, the weight of the city rests upon the shoulders of the fire mage they were taught to fear.

The final choice is his. Will Coll embrace the darkness in his heritage and become the enemy they should fear, or will he defy every hater and prove himself the true protector Earthelle desperately needs?
