Synopsis

A true leader must cultivate a heart of service rather than authority.What will Earth be like? That’s the question on every Torian human mind. Some, a minority, remember it with fondness. But the majority dread the long-delayed Earth relocation mission. Brandon Foss, their unwitting leader, hardly blames them for their fear of the unknown. Unfortunately, he has too many logistical problems just trying to get them there to deal with that—some of which only validate their fears.It’s been 39 Tora years since the first of 372 Earthlings were revived from cryonic preservation. More than half a century has passed on Earth since their individual abductions. The human population on Banor has grown to more than two thousand, including 348 first-generation survivors. The bulk of these people will be forced to leave the only home they’ve ever known to move to a place with unfamiliar hazards and a shorter life expectancy, where they do not know if they will even be welcome. Then again, they have not exactly felt welcome on Banor the last few years. When a new alien attack coincides with a sobering shave from a cosmic natural disaster, most of the Earthlings finally realize they belong on their home planet, come of it what may.No big project is ever easy, and that’s without the endless chain of sinister roadblocks which seem to plague Brandon’s final mission. Ultimately, the entire human population will have to test the old prophecies about the true identity of their worst enemy if they are to reach a safe harbor where they can build a promising future.This is Book 5 of the Torian Reclamation and the final installment of the series, which took more than eight years to complete. The author hopes the conclusion prompts a rusty old gear or two in your mind to start turning. Enjoy.

Meikyou Shisui

While Light was busy clearing the Abyss of monsters so that he had somewhere to build his new kingdom, his former Concord of the Tribes cohort, Naano, was slowly slipping deeper into despair. Despite being showered with riches and securing a top job in the Dwarf Kingdom’s most distinguished smithy, the talented blacksmith felt the course of events was taking him further and further from his life’s goal: to craft the ultimate legendary weapon. However, an encounter with a human merchant puts him on a new, much darker path to fulfilling his dream, and with his goal now in sight, Naano will stop at nothing to craft a legendary sword, even if it means spilling the blood of countless innocents. Meanwhile, Light’s quest for revenge on Naano leads to him striking a deal with the ruler of the Dwarf Kingdom, King Dagan, but will aiding him to explore some vast, labyrinthine ruins replete with deadly traps and powerful guardians from which no one has returned prove to be an unwise undertaking?

Meikyou Shisui

The Masters hosted by the Dragonute Empire have grown increasingly concerned about their lack of knowledge surrounding the emergence of the Great Tower as well as the sudden disappearances of former members of the Concord of the Tribes, so they hatch a scheme to find out who exactly they are up against. Their plan is to get the Beastfolk Federation to declare war on the Great Tower while they watch on from afar to learn about their opponents without the need to reveal themselves. For their part, the beastfolk have their own reasons for going to war with the Great Tower. Light’s lieutenant, Ellie—aka the Wicked Witch of the Tower—has successfully conquered the elves and the dark elves, freeing the human slaves suffering under their heels in the process. Not wishing to share the same fate, the beastfolk are determined to destroy the Great Tower. But how can a relatively weak nation fight a sorceress who has her own personal army of dragons? By fighting dirty, that’s how.
