Introduction: Alexia Bluerose, the Second Great Wizard, wields immense power鈥攅nough to turn the tide of battles and cleanse entire cities of plagues. Yet, despite her role as King Gideon Sapphire's magical spearhead in the brutal Gemstone War, Alexia is a socially anxious dreamer who yearns for peace in the war-torn land of Leveria. Sent on a perilous mission to destroy a crucial mine in the Ruby Kingdom, Alexia is paired with Maleon Stonebreaker鈥攁 hardened cynic whose youthful ideals were shattered by the same violence she now faces. As their journey plunges them deeper into conflict, Alexia鈥檚 belief in love鈥檚 power to heal and her own ability to be a hero are put to the ultimate test.Meanwhile, across the border, Zander of Mirrevar is driven by a promise to his dying mother: to find the Sunrise and use a magical locket to save their homeland. To fulfill this vow, Zander dedicates himself to becoming the greatest warrior, embarking on a quest with his loyal friends, the story-loving Alfread and the immature Kenneth. But as they venture across Leveria, they uncover a new threat鈥攁n invasion by men who control the minds of beasts. Zander swears to defeat this menace, but his quest forces him to question the glory he seeks and his loyalties in the face of a Sapphire Kingdom poised for war.In this epic coming-of-age tale, Alexia and Zander stand on the brink of becoming the heroes Leveria desperately needs. Together, they could end the centuries-old Gemstone War. But if they fall to the darkness within and around them, they risk becoming just another link in the chain of hatred and vengeance that has bound their broken kingdom for so long.-------------You may like this story if you are into:-Coming of age plots-Naive (for now) and/or extremely skilled protagonists-Introspective, character-focused writing styles-Epic, multiple-perspective sagas (I have hundreds of chapters backlogged)-Explosive finalesIf you are interested in exploring other stories set in the same world, please check out my other works Tuya of the Hollows and The Warrior's Pride which occur about 200 years prior to the events of The Dreamers of Peace.Chapters of Book 2 will be released weekly.
