Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was shadow. A dark mass that was both visible and invisible, opaque and transparent - a shadow with dimension - darkness with volume. An ominous sound of hushed mutters seemed to sigh out from within the darkness itself as the Hunter continued to expand it. The misty shadows stretched forth, as if to get a feel for the surroundings. This was where the Dark Ones got their name.. For over fifty years, a war has been raging. Threatened by the Dark Ones, Man has agreed to a system of partnerships, forming a new way of life with phoenixes, winged horses, and dragons. Children are taught at a young age to fight for what is right and to trust in the One. As war ravages the land, eight children will learn how to defend themselves, their friends, families, and homelands. The son of a king, the daughter of a queen, a descendant of an underground fighter, and a child of the forest will choose four others and unite, unwittingly setting a prophecy in motion as the Dark Ones initiate a new offensive. Will the eight be able to halt this advancement, or will more of the world fall into darkness? Jessica Lynn Campos is an engineering student at Oklahoma State University. Between classes, she enjoys reading, playing games and guitar, and, of course, writing. Her ideas stem from a strong Christian faith and from watching the world around her, especially her family. Her mother, father, sister, and three brothers were the inspiration for many of the characters. They were also her support when she looked to publish. She gives credit to God, who made everything fall into place at the right time. Without Him, nothing would be possible. Gal 6:17
