Reviews

[James]

In the bright years before civilization fell, the ancients created a dozen new races, each gifted with strange powers. But in the dark centuries that followed, men hunted them to the verge of extinction, until one born to lead - Morgan of Alb'ny - fought a mighty battle to win them a place of honor. Yet in the aftermath of that great battle, treachery and betrayal threatened to turn their fragile victory to ashes. Mother Earth is the sage of Morgan's courageous act of defiance, of how he loosed the dormant powers of nature to break the chains of darkness, and light the way to hope.
