About the Book
Six centuries had passed since the land of Valgarde was torn asunder by the forces of the Undead Hordes, an army of nightmarish creatures ripped from the world of the dead. Though humanity prevailed in the final hour, evil had left it's scar on their world. The seductive power of dark magic had planted its seed. Over time, the stories of the past had fallen into legend and myth, mere fairy tales to keep children in their beds at night,...but evil cannot be silenced forever.
As four unlikely companions are recruited to search for an ancient artifact, hidden agendas begin to surface.
Who are the Shadow Sanctum? What do they want? Can they be stopped?

About the Author
 |
| Author Coren Graves |
"I think the problem with most fantasy is that it's flashy and epic at first, but it eventually falls in line with every other fantasy. The glamour of the unique worlds fades and what you're left with is a world of separate lands and separate people with nothing in common and very little impact on each other. In the end you find yourself saying 'Is this believable?'. When the allure fades, alot of times the world your left with is just too impractical to believe. And if you can't believe it at least a little, you can't get into the story. When the initial glow fades, you have to have a good story, something that runs deeper than the surface. You need a rich history, deeply rooted relations, lore that impacts more than just a few moments." -- Coren Graves on creating a living world.
Coren now lives with his wife, Syrena, and their son in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Syrena shares in his passion for fantasy and is currently working on projects of her own.
