In a place home to magical creatures and devious beings, something is about to change. Only a few know what is coming and what preparations need to be made. Items of power are being moved or destroyed. People are being evaluated, and those chosen must be found. Some will need to be trained for what is to come. Only by the grace of the deities will they all survive to the end to keep the growing evil from taking over ...
One of those chosen few is Calarel of Valria, a strong, courageous female warrior who must find her path in life. Equipped with her sword, weapon belt, and a fighting spirit, Calarel sets off from her home to explore the world. Her journey takes her to different lands populated with different races, and along the way she makes valued friends-and powerful enemies.
Her compatriots, like Abon and Scorch, will help her reach her destiny. But there are those stalking her at every turn with only one purpose in mind: to promote the wickedness trying to take over the world. Using all her skills and relying on those who have come to her aid, Calarel will come face to face in a final showdown with the blackest evil their land has ever known.

I woke up at my usual time, about an hour before the sun came up. I looked around the room I have slept in for over a hundred twenty years, maybe one hundred thirty.

I have arranged my furniture every way possible, just to have a change. I cannot change it to suit me any better than what it is now. I got out of my bed and went to my wash basin to wash my face and clean my teeth. I use the same towels; I put on the same type clothes I put on every day. Everything is the same every day.

I hung the sheaths for my broad sword and dagger on my belt, and then buckled it on. And then slid my sword into the sheath and sheathed my dagger. I took my shield from the rack by the handle. And left my room, down the hall to the kitchen and out through the back door. Then went out to where I practiced every morning. This part of my life I will not change.

After I was finished, I stood there looking at the back of the house. I know every board, every nail. I know this house inside and out. Every board that will squeak when stepped on. I know every door that would make noise when you opened or closed it. I know how much wind must blow to make the walls creak.
