Soulforge - Legends of Kohr, #1

"Fans of fantastical adventures and a bit of mystery will delight in this evocative beginning to what promises to be a thrilling (series)." - Reedsy Discovery  In a quest for truth, two reluctant heroes reignite an ancient war, and discover a threat that may destroy all magic. Five years after a mysterious explosion killed their fathers, Lord Draxian Kalenthos reunites with his lifelong friend, Prince Arros Nemendes, to discover the truth behind the tragic accident.
However, when their search leads to the discovery of a portal to another world, hidden amongst an ancient ruin, reality disintegrates around them, transporting them from the peaceful, magic-fearing land of Ellandor, to the land of Kohr - a world without sun, and the nexus of all magic. They must quickly learn to survive in a world pulled partially into the Realm of Shadow by a fallen god, and corrupted by the insidious touch of the Spirit Realm.
They join forces with two deadly Hunters, a Blade Master of legendary skill, and Kyreena, an escaped slave with an unknown past. As the group navigates the horrors spawned by Kohr's violent red storms, Draxian and Arros uncover dormant powers within themselves and the disturbing realization of their true destiny. Soulforge  is the first book in the series: Legends of Kohr.
