Introduction: For those who like progression fantasy and slow romance.A land of absent protector Saints and the Unending Chaos. Ryne is the youngest member of the dark monks; a supernatural brotherhood whose ultimate mission is to improve the dire circumstances of poor, war-torn villages using powers unique to each member. Or so he was led to believe. Ryne's only trait that he shares with his brothers is his eternal youth. He cannot charm or compel like Woodrow, he cannot cast illusions like Knox, he isn't swift like Swithin, not powerful like Blake. He is barely an assistant to his rapid-healing, dear brother Wilbur, with his herbology and alchemy. He was told to make himself scarce.A dark secret is revealed, shadow monsters prowl and destroy everything they see. Ryne must rebuild a decrepit monastery that once served as the base of operations for Saint Gaelmar and his other three comrades. Together with Claude, his first mortal friend in Rothfield, and with his dark brothers, Ryne must raise a community and protect the people who would, in time, finish what the Saints never could--put an end to the Unending Chaos....
