Tales of the Mist: The Spirit Awakening

Nan'Derrana—a world rife with political turmoil and corruption—and its oblivious denizens faced an imminent demise. One scientist initiated a project to return his world from the brink and plucked the final thread from a mystical seam that divided two divergent worlds for millennia. Unleashing an ancient power, his mistake cost millions of human lives—along with his own. Then, out of the chaos comes a glimmer of hope—Mard-Tek Industries— as they harnessed the ancient energy—a green and gaseous luminescent substance—and so the tale begins. Proud soldier Captain David Orion and humble but energetic caster Lieutenant Jade Corlan are a pair of soldiers and loyal servants of the state headed by the newly formed Guild Protectorate—an organization of skilled individuals suffering the mystical effects of the so-called Mist. The librarian Jaylin Waircoft passionately tends her leather-bound wards in the Military Secure Archives and, lastly, Celcia trains arduously in hopes to serve her humble village—one of few human settlements have survived the upheaval—as their chief huntress. While they know not of each other's existence, their destinies have been intricately intertwined in the weave of fate. Two duty-fastened soldiers will begin to question the disingenuous proclamations of a shadowy command structure. A librarian must become a warrior of the people and awaken her spirit before the coming spring. And a huntress will stumble upon knowledge of the unfathomable destruction awaiting her world. Will Captain Orion overcome his pride and free his loyal lieutenant from a dark secret that binds them in time to thwart conspirators lurking behind their nefarious veils? Can Celcia confront a forgotten past to avert a disastrous future? Will Jaylin survive the agonizing process of awakening and bonding of a human soul to an ethereal spirit of the Otherworld? For should any one fail, a shadow shall befall the frail world of Nan'Derrana and plunge it into a darkness far greater than any force ever witnessed.
