Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
Our journey begins in a mystical realm called Mjornia. It lies in the darkest, farthest, most forgotten corner of existence just between the imagination and reality. Yet it violently flourishes with life. It is a plane of existence where thoughts, emotions, and even consciousness can affect the physical world and manifest around you whether you are aware of its presence or not. It is overflowing with magic, enchantment, and sheer fantasy around every turn and where, in some areas, nothing imaginable is impossible. While lush green forests and hills are the dominant nature for the most part, there are several places in Mjornia that are not so fortunateplaces that are beyond the reaches of what is considered safe and habitable lands like the swamps and marshes of Morvoria. Anyone that foolishly wandered in or around that place is neither seen nor heard from again. Then there is the far northeastern Kjolferdorn mountains. Beaten weekly with snowstorms, it is also home to some of the deepest ravines and crevices in all Mjornia. It has openings that stretched deep beneath the surface where numerous large caverns lie. Some stretched on for miles where none dare tread. Others led to ruined underground fortresses made entirely from clear quartz crystals along with other precious gems and minerals. Relics were formed by the most skilled enchanters and crafters in Mjornias ancient past. No matter where you find yourself in Mjornia, magic is inescapable, and the allure of such a place mesmerizes you with beauty and wonder. But for now, our story starts simple. It begins with the most innocent form in all Mjorniaa child. However, in this case, its actually several children who must discover their purpose and how it affects everything that exists in this realm, before all is lost.

Johnson is accused of assaulting a white woman, a deadly charge for a black man in 1876.

When Cole Charles discovers Johnson is a wanted man, Johnson has no choice but to flee again. This time he escapes to Fort Worth, Texas, where he meets a rowdy woman named Eddie who is quick with a joke and even quicker with her pistol.

With Cole Charles on his trail, the cattle drive will take Johnson further than he ever imagined and force him to confront his greatest fear when he comes face to face with Cole Charles himself.
