Kiria: Epic Fantasy (Le Monde des cinq Règnes)

by Elvio Ravasio

Que se passerait-il si un beau matin le soleil ne se levait pas? Si l’obscurité vous accompagnait pendant le temps qu’il vous reste à vivre? Si les couleurs ne faisaient plus partie du monde tel que vous le connaissez et si votre corps était contraint de subir une mutation pour s’adapter à une nouvelle existence? Les habitants des cinq règnes, aidés par les dragons et les créatures primitives, se rejoignent dans une guerre historique contre les nécromanciens. Mais qu’est-ce qui relie nos héros à la ville de Kiria? Quel obscur dessein souhaite exterminer les protecteurs? Une aventure sans temps aux confins du monde.Guerrieri ingleseAn enemy, hidden for years, re-emerged from the darkness and attained a secret book of charms which, upset ‘the rules’ and caused the latent side of every individual to resurface. Thus, creating an enormous power which caused chaos and subjugation.Nayla, Elamar and Gotland were chosen to act against this force. Unaware of their powers, which they had to master and not knowing each other, they became friends, united by this strange destiny.A lineage of immortal men, lead by seven kings, a population of self-exiled, in a mysterious forest and an ethnic group hidden for an age in the sub-surface of the Earth; will form a united army, which will resist this dark threat.It is something else, however which will obliviate the evil forever!AlteraThe adventures of Elamar, Nayla and Gotland continue. In the remote past, the most potent spell ever pronounced put an end to a war. But now, the ancient city of Altera—suspended for eras in a different dimension—seeks to reemerge with all its might. Our three protagonists become players in a nasty scheme that shall put into question their friendship, their strength, and their will. They become separated, possessed, tortured, and used against one another. They must learn the difference between anger and forgiveness, indulgence and severity—but their choices shall not always deliver the desired effect. Devastating powers come into play, old rancors reawaken, and the elements shall finally receive a new master. Dragons, magic and courage must combat hidden power, but the limit dividing strength from madness shall be ultimately violated.OmbreElamar sought to forget the unforgettable. The only alternative was turning towards the horizon and following Destiny. Thus he left, in search of a last ray of lucidity that might save him from his suffering. He finds himself drawn into a war that is not his own, in foreign territory. A remote past overhauls the present, undermining everything in which he believes. Ancient events compromised an entire civilization and Elamar, accused of crimes he did not commit and keeper of forbidden magical power, must pay the consequences. By way of deception his powers shall be stolen from him. He shall be followed, tormented. Emotions which he had forgotten shall besiege his fear, anguish, pain and humility. Used as pretext for a long thought-out revenge scheme, Elamar unleashes the latent madness of the King of Artam. Once again, the Lands of Brena shall experience the horrors which Arkadon and Elja helped to create.
