Sixteen years ago, the strongest of the dragons who once flew free over the kingdom of Auland escaped extinction the only way they knew how; releasing their souls to reside in unaware humans. With a debilitating sickness now spreading through their hosts, time is running out for them once more. On the streets of the capital city, a gold smuggler named Giselle struggles to survive with the help of the Voice inside her head. Her world is turned upside down when she catches an opportunity to travel to the mountains just as she has always dreamed, but there is a price to pay which she cannot avoid. In the south, Corran is the youngest son of the dragonslayer who led the battle all those years ago. He clashes with his brothers daily in a battle to prove himself and when he hears of dragon sympathisers in the area he is determined to turn it to his advantage. But with the first footstep outside his home, he sets his destiny to never return. Two souls can't live in one body forever. The hibernation is over.

F or hundreds of years magic has been out of use in the known Empires. That suddenly changes with the onset of a mysterious storm that lays waste to the grand city of Kelmist, capital of the Treynen lands. Social outcast and part-time pirate Niema, along with her dedicated first mate, the ever-grim minotaur Sateb, are sailing toward the city just as the destruction begins, and are witnesses to the devastation. Meanwhile, a Treynen Ranger named Tristan and his unusual companions, a comical, color-changing dragon and a dog of unusual proportions, rush to the West Gates of the city after they see the storm from deep within Panic Wood. The two unique parties meet in the city, now left without inhabitants and smoldering in a static haze. Together, they search for the cause of the night's events and track the lone survivor through the Eastern Empires, finding conflict and strife. Far away, Kree, an ambitious court sage, delves into the mysteries of lost magic and finds himself uncontrollably linked to the same man Tristan and the others follow with such driven purpose. In the midst of it all, the world's only magic resides in a man who can't remember his name, his origins, or anything of his power. Firesoul, Book One of The Empires of Magic takes readers on an adventure through the Eastern Empires as armies fight for unknown causes, magic and evil are born, and unlikely heroes join forces to discover the truth.

This volume focuses on the connection between modern design and architectural practices and the construction of "sacred spaces." Not only language and ritual but space, place, and architecture play a significant role in constructing "special" or "religious" spaces. However, this concept of a constructed "sacred space" remains undertheorized in religious studies and the history of art and architecture in general. This volume therefore revisits the question of a "modern sacred space" from an interdisciplinary perspective, focusing on religion, space, and architecture during the emergence of the modern period and up until contemporary times. Revisiting the ways in which modern architects and artists have endeavored to create sacred spaces and buildings for the modern world will addresses the underlying questions of how religious ideas--especially those related to esotericism and to alternative religiosities--have transformed the way sacred spaces are conceptualized today.

Deep in the heart of the beast, Taj finds himself a slave in more ways than one and yet, he is still unyielding in his attempt to end the madness of Corvana. Corvana initially pledged war for fear that the southern pantheon of Runethedian didn't know how to control itself and/or the magic it managed to uncover and/or otherwise harness. The war Corvana waged against the entire pantheon came to be known as "The White War" by Corvanians. Nearly all those that have walked alongside Taj Odin Xavier have fallen. Only Malakai and Giovanni remain and Giovanni is not always the most accountable person. Allies from the Northern land, from Corvana are made and a united people under new leadership fight together, refusing to be divided by a common enemy far greater than even Raino Shadowblood, the last Forsaken. In the end, Thedia is forever changed and the lands of the world become even more calloused. Are the sins of the father truly past to the son? When the door on Taj's quest is finally shut, another opens when his sons Legion and Dauge and his daughter Dusk set out on an adventure of their own. Perhaps they seek fame and fortune or perhaps the answer to the lone question. "Do we belong in the Republic of New Magic or Eternis?" After all, they were all raised in the Republic but their origins are divided. Will Taj see them grow and live to guide them through the mistakes he made or will he die somewhere amidst the smoke of a scarred land, never to see home again? Perhaps he will live to an old ripe age and laugh at the thought of his father's words to him when he was a child? Or, will it be the legacy of a fallen hero left behind guiding them? Or, maybe... just maybe... Falling Star proves too great of a threat for the scarred world of Thedia and the entire plane is hurled into a state of Darkness, where the shadow reigns supreme forever?
