Ahnalian: The New Beginning - Paperback

by Timothy E. Collins (Author)

While tending to his beehives, Zephraim is startled by a vision on the horizon that shakes him to the core - DRAGONS! - a swarm of draconian locust so great as to block out the sun. In an instant, his entire world will change, seared away by the pungent, flaming acidic bile spewed forth from their cavernous mouths as they strafe the land below, destroying everything in their path.

As predicted in the Prophesy of Korham, written long in the past, this is AHNÁLIAN: THE NEW BEGINNING, a time where Evil has been locked away for centuries, sequestered in an eternal slumber by the magic of a powerful sorcerer. Years pass and the consciousness of Evil awakens, scheming from the shadows to plant the seeds that will ultimately release it from confinement. A series of unlikely, yet fatefully linked events, set in motion by the bite of a serpent and fortified by the union of a human and a serpentine demigod, reach a peak as the ambitious yet fiendish Lord Roga rains destruction upon the countryside by way of draconian air attacks. In desperate response, the Tendiran kingdoms unite and assemble a militia in preparation for the next attack, only to realize the futility of ground defenses against such a formidable aerial offensive. So, under an enchanted cover devised by a wizard of suspect abilities, and forever hindered by a persistent nuisance tag-along princess, the young warrior Elden leads a rag-tag fleet on an unlikely naval assault upon Roga and his aerial forces. The struggle culminates in a classic battle between good and evil written from a fresh perspective with an unexpected twist.
