Summoners, individuals who are upstanding guardians of the peasants, can call forth Elemental Spirits from nature. They live and thrive with their traditions, but for every day there is a night. The Kakusa are deadly warriors of the dark. Family and devotion are their creeds. As one great war reaches a climax, another begins when a group of ruthless killers emerges from the shadows, working for an unknown goal.
Delving into these mysterious groups is Eclipse, a Summoner with one passion; to prove he is worthy. But having always stood in the shadow of his prodigy brother, Sol, Eclipse will have to Sacrifice more than he can possibly imagine if he is to find peace. Meanwhile, Sol’s desire is simple; to bring peace to his people and to have his brother by his side once more.
Summoner tells the story of these brothers, this land, and the war that threatens to tear them apart.
Hi all… Well, this’ll be interesting. Do you mind if we keep this formal? Including my poor vocal grammar? Sweet. Here we go. I was born in 1992. I was homeschooled, thank God and thank you Mom and Dad. I am not a crowd’s kind of guy. Eww. I have an older brother, younger brother, and of course the baby sister. And Mom and Dad, naturally. Growing up was always quiet an adventure. I cannot tell you how many miles we traveled through the woods around our small house… really small house for six people.
I love animals. I have a cat sitting in my lap right now, purring… but he will growl if I try to move him. The pest is keeping me hostage, which is the real reason I am writing this as I would much rather be actually writing a story than about myself. But oh well.
