The Upheaval is at hand. War is coming. It will ensnare the Nine Kingdoms of Kivveneth and the realm of Aelyum. Many will fight. Heror Heran will be one of them. Heror Heran is a castaway – orphaned in the slums of Cephragon, in the Kingdom of Ardys. A kinship cloth from a distant Kingdom, left with him at birth, reminds him of a past unknown – a past waiting beyond the walls. Heror is sent to battle the treacherous Midans, but holds no loyalty to Ardys. He defects, and soon crosses paths with the mysterious forager Adjaash.  Together, they are tasked by an enigmatic leader with finding a legendary weapon that could turn the tides of the war: The Sword of Sparhh.  The search promises danger, as Heror and Adjaash brave the claws of the dissenters, the twists and turns of Jurund’s labyrinth, and the demons of the sand: The Zhai Ghi.  And it is only when the Sword is found that Heror realizes the power he has unleashed – the power he doesn’t at all understand, let alone have control over. Trials and tribulations can strengthen or corrupt. It is the one who endures, who decides their fate.
