The War of the Three Kingdoms (The Story of the First Archimage)

Duunzer decimated Nerahdis. Rhydin is on the loose. Can the Allyen save Nerahdis again? Although the dragon, Duunzer, was defeated, its Darkness left the world in pure destruction. While Lina tries to build a new life with her husband, Sam, the Three Kingdoms of Nerahdis spark an ugly war as people consumed by the fear of magic blame each other for unleashing Duunzer. But, Lina and her friends know the truth: Rhydin, the dark sorcerer who created Duunzer, is still on the loose and planning his next move. When the Archimage suddenly reveals that the Allyen lineage has been disrupted, and Sam is abducted by the draft, Lina and her brother, Evan, are thrust into a desperate search filled with twists and turns. They must find not only Sam but also a special newborn who can become the next Allyen to regenerate their dying magic. If they fail, the Allyen magic will cease to exist, and Rhydin’s ascent to power will be unstoppable.
