Sunstone

by S.A. Thorup

The goddess walks in the flesh. The morning approaches.

A rumor travels upon the winds of the Southern Isles: a divine, powerful stone has appeared in Zanoll. The prospect of its power draws the attention of a demi-goddess, a pious clan of warriors, and a malignant gang.

Luna, benevolent demi-goddess, Mistress of Moon and Water, has long watched over the inhabitants of Libera. In a time past she lost the Sunstone under mysterious circumstances. Now with the Sunstone's appearance in Zanoll, she turns her attention to prophecies of her incarnate and calls upon princess Sabra, Luna's spiritually symbiont and mortal sister, to rise up to her divine role in Libera and help Luna retrieve the Sunstone.

The Draconite warriors are protectors of the isle of Ramirrra, followers of the god Zarem and the demi-goddess Luna. When they learn of the appearance of a stone of power, they go westward to retrieve it and bring it to Ramirra for safe-keeping. Among them is the Draconite Tasaru Enkar, who discovers that the Black Darts, a gang with a bloody history, are out to get the stone. Her journey leads her to a holy priest with divine ties to the stone and a secret to her past.
