Tales From Ismenara: The Ascent of Avedis

All of his life, Prince Avedis Ilarion has desired nothing more than to take his father's place as the next King of Carram. Blessed with an ancient and powerful ability known as the Vitesta, Avedis has an agenda to change the face of the nation, to utilize the energy source to build a more powerful Carram that will dominate over all of Ismenara. However, when whisperings about a lost Prince who is the true heir to the Ilarion throne arise, Avedis finds that his plans many not unfold as easily as he had hoped. When the King and Queen turn against him in favor of their lost son, Kelson, Avedis is forced to take matters into his own hands. In retaliation, Avedis calls upon the powers of the Old Vitesta, and ignites a series of events that will drastically alter the course of history, and change the future of Ismenara forever.

Tales From Ismenara: The Story of Minxe

When Minxe Rei Talmen was eight years old, a great explosion of an unknown source killed his mother, leaving him deaf and amnesiac. A mere child, Minxe was forced to survive in the harsh streets of the City of Iroquoi. After scraping by for ten years, Minxe was reunited with his mother's sister and his cousin, Wethel, and was suddenly thrust into the wealthy and lush life of Iroquoi's upper class. With his hearing restored and a family that loves him, Minxe has learned a new way of life and has forged friendships he had never expected.

Three years after his reunion with his aunt and cousin, a series of terrorist attacks turns Minxe's life upside down once more. Armed only with the ancient Svethosian necklace that once belonged to King Avedis, Minxe must protect both himself and the person he loves from the wrath of the forces that began the war. As Iroquoi descends into chaos, Minxe begins to learn that he is one of the key players in the most brutal and terrifying civil war that Carram has ever seen.

The Dires of Dhovera

For generations, the Dire Wolves inhabiting the continent of Dhovera have told tales of the Three Season Winter to their pups, about a time when snow as deep as lakes covered the land and ice rained from the northern sky. The Wolves see the old story as nothing but lore, until the Seer of the Dhovera pack, Ina, begins to receive visions about the Three Season winter.

Soon, the wolves learn of a hidden and formidable evil that has been ressurected, one whose only desire is to bestow chaos upon the Dire Wolves of Dhovera. In the face of the unparalleled forces that are descending upon them, alliances between the four major packs to the west of the Mae'Estegan Mountains begin to change. When Larahsheen of the Abeli confirms that the next Three Season Winter is upon them, the news travels quickly and the wolves are thrust into an unfamiliar, dangerous world. The fates of a few individuals are intertwined beyond what they could ever imagine, as the wolves must make sacrifices and take risks to preserve what is most important--the life of the pack.
