Many years ago, magic, magical races, and creatures left the world humans called Earth, and restricting access to the planet from all who would wish to enter.  These magical races and creatures faded into myth and legend becoming tales humans would tell each other for entertainment. Little did the inhabitants of this vast world know, the magical races and creatures would one day return. Brought back to earth, these magical beings can choose their own way.   Humans must once again learn how to craft and survive facing constant attacks without their previous technological weapons and advances. Will they be able to make alliances with magical races that are only myth and legend?  Defend what they call home and the people they love from the monsters that emerge from the dark?  One hope humanity has for survival, is the one who brought magic back upon the land. The mage who can claim territories as a Contender, Lord Shea. UPDATE 17 Jan 21:  I am working on writing more of the book and intend to post more as often as I can.  I will try and post new chapters weekly.  I am writing in my spare time with a full time job, and four kids.  Fortunately, I have a wonderful wife who helps me a lot or I would never get anything written.
