Drake Thomas woke by the side of the river. After a few moments, it became clear that he had no memory of his life prior to that moment. The only thing he had to his name was an unusual mark on his hand. His new companions thought that the mark might indicate some ancient legend and pertain to a certain prophecy.

Her cryptic insights hint at deeper connections and secrets that bind the characters together.

As Drake and his companions train and prepare for the inevitable confrontation, they must confront not only external threats but also the personal revelations that challenge their understanding of loyalty and family.

“The Dead Mountains” culminates in a fierce battle against the Sorcerer, where the truth about Gwen’s parentage is revealed. This revelation adds emotional depth to the conflict, as personal stakes intertwine with the fate of the realm.

However, in a surprising twist, they appoint Ellizar and Lily as the interim King and Queen before embarking on a journey north, leaving readers with a sense of hope and the promise of new adventures. The aim of the story is to explore themes of identity, the complexities of leadership, and the bonds of family, all set against a backdrop of epic fantasy and adventure.
