Legends of the Spectral Realms: Love - by D.J.Ebernal

The Beginning. A time when angels walked among humanity and demons hid within the mists. A time when man was immortal until the Sword Of Almighty was thrown from its shrine and a great war began. Twenty new races emerged, and four dragon races made themselves known. It marked the end of The Age Of Mists. For one thousand years the world of Mishard reveled in its infancy. The Age of The Dawn saw the migration of mankind. It was a dark age of war and superstition, blighted with racism and hatred, the time when Mishard learned of her true wealth, her Spectral Stones. The hoarding of this power brought about the second great cataclysm, ripping Mishard into five separate realms, transforming it forever into a haven for all who sought to live in peace. This third age was known as The Age Of Asunder. These six tales are of the early years of the third age. In a time of death and war, they were preserved to bring hope and love and new beginnings, to bring an end to the ancient hatreds.
