Zaraphos

Book 2 | The Ashes of War

The war for Sombra-Luz rages — on the battlefield and in the unseen realms. As Seraphin tightens his grip, Zaraphos warriors clash against the dark forces in a brutal struggle for dominion. Battles win the war. Heroes rise and fall, their fates entwined with the shadows creeping ever closer. Betrayal lurks in the ranks, and ancient powers stir, threatening to tip the balance. Amidst the chaos, warriors must choose where they stand—not just with their swords, but with their hearts. In the end, victory may demand more than strength; it may require sacrifice. It is the ashes of war that cover, and it is the ashes of war that remind warriors of what they have fought for.

That’s when Zeriah, a beautiful and strong warrior, a Zaraphos, appears and tells Matthew and Demas that they are in the middle of a war between the powers of Dark and Light in the land of Sombra-Luz. Matthew learns to wield the sword of Light as a Zaraphos warrior and Demas trains as a Qodesh, one who uses the power of blessing and cursing. The warriors battle Bones and illgots, fight morahs and Anakim, and face against the sinister Ketophel all to save Sombra-Luz from the Dark Towers and their web of evil.
