King Aric rules over the kingdom of Vicedonia with a mighty fist, his greatest ambitions finally fulfilled, but heavy is the burden of wearing the crown. His war council remains divided in their support, Aric’s every decision questioned and scrutinized. Family loyalties pull at him: his father murdered, his brother imprisoned, and the object of his desire abandoning him. Aric struggles within, wondering if his kingship was worth the sacrifices. As an ancient power continues to grow inside of him, guiding him along, Aric gradually loses himself to the darkness. With his kingdom fracturing under his rule, what else will Aric surrender to maintain his crown?

This next installment of the Prophecy Rock Series takes you deeper into the raging war between the Renzai and the Vicedonians and further reveals secrets and mysteries surrounding the mystical forces behind our two would-be Candidates. Who is the true savior and who is the pretender?
The mountain fortress of Sargatum now lies in ruin, torn apart by an unholy and ancient power long believed extinct. As war rages on between the Renzai Empire and the Vicedonian Kingdom, Raden struggles to make sense of his place in the world… but fate waits for no one. An unexpected danger rises and threatens to destroy Gozin, the capital city of the Renzai, endangering everything and everyone Raden holds dear. To save all that is precious to him, Raden and his best friends—Gama and Oli—must place their lives in the hands of mythical strangers and locate a legendary artifact believed to be the only way to stop the rising tide of darkness.

Elsewhere, Prince Aric’s journey into the Disputed Lands has set into motion a series of disastrous consequences. The young prince now returns home, empowered by a mysterious force, eager to reveal his newfound abilities to his father and people. Unbeknownst to him, though, an internal struggle caused by the destruction of Sargatum is threatening to rip apart his homeland. In his midst, a servant girl reluctantly embraces her destiny, fanning the flames of rebellion against Vicedonian oppression, but at what cost? Will Prince Aric be able to restore order? Or will he continue down a path too dark to return from? 

Eos’ very survival rests upon the choices made by its heroes—or villains. Set against a backdrop of war, honor, betrayal, and love, family loyalties will be put to the test, faiths and convictions questioned, and only the Chosen one can save Eos from the brink of destruction.
