Fragments of Evanescence — Brian C. Kershner

Darkness grows in the west as forces gather in and around the Heart of Stone. The stalwart defenders prepare for an assault by elements from all corners of Creation; dragons, angels, demons, and the seemingly immortal Children of the Creator. The fate of the whole of Creation is at stake as a handful of brave warriors face down impossible odds in the hope of saving not only humanity, but life itself from the Creator's growing narcissistic madness. As the rest of Espre and the whole of Creation prepares for the outcome of an unprecedented battle, it seems as though reality takes a deep breath. Destiny and perspective have continually reshaped themselves around a few heroes and former villains as they shed their naivety and face the enormity of the task before them. Can mortality win out over immortality? Can humanity triumph in the face of divinity? Will the malevolence of the Creator fail when faced with the altruism of those willing to sacrifice everything to see another sunrise? The battle for the soul of Creation is about to begin. Peek into the minds of those heroes brave enough to stand against impossible odds in The Quietus of Fate: Fragments of Evanescence.
