war - Stories

The road to Valhalla goes through hell.

"Tragic Genius" is the fourth and penultimate book in "The Trial", a series beginning with "Shadow Honor". In this book, we follow the early days of the Demon War, and focus on the stories of Neredos and Veil predominantly, but with many other familiar faces as well. What does it take to make a leader, and how do the horrors of war twist a person's mind? How do we fight for good, life, and peace in a world full of evil, death, and pain? This is the heart of what The Trial means.

The year is 2410 and Starfleet are under siege. After the Hobus star went supernova and destroyed the Romulan Homeworld, the Alpha and Beta Quadrant's have been in turmoil. The Romulans have splintered into two factions, with the Romulan Republic becoming a neutral power. The Klingon Empire declared war and expanded their territory in the vacuum left when the Romulans fractured. Now a new threat has emerged from the Borg and the Iconians.

Commander Garric, the lone member of Species 8501 in the Federation has been selected to lead a mission. His goal, to find a way to end the Borg and Iconian conflicts, before they grow worse.

A decades-long war between the fire and dark mages has ended up in a stalemate just outside Solarius in Arcadia. King Rowan and Queen Reyna decide to send their sole heir Alexander (Alex) through the multiverse to Earth with their most trusted friend Ariana to keep him safe.

Alex grows up and remains in the dark about his heritage and dormant powers until the truth begins to unravel. Events force him to enlist the help of friends, train in the magical arts, and discover the secrets of the Ancients. Should he fail, the fate of the terran homeworld and that of Arcadia could hang in the balance.
