Odysseys & the Rejoining of the Shards — Melvin Karew

In a world of fantasy, two enemies square off against one another: Grimlindus, the general, necromancer and suave lord of evil; and Ariadne, young princess and refugee from the invasion of her homeland and the murder of her family. Ariadne has completed her worldly quests, has read the Book of Kazlos, drunk from the well of the dead god and been bitten by the serpent from the Amazon Continent. She is returning home but is still overwhelmed by the poison of the serpent. Grimlindus and his minions rush to intercept her, to destroy her before she is grown to full power. Meanwhile, her companions are spread all over the world, from the deserts to the jungles the ocean-floor. They all have their own journeys, their own odysseys, to take in order to return. On these journeys, they will collect various shards of knowledge, magic and authority that will assist in the overthrow of Grimlinduss empire. It is only by avoiding the machinations of Grimlindus and by joining all the shards together, that Ariadne and her friends will finally triumph.
