In the final battle to save the world, legends will rise, or humanity will die. Two of the legendary dragons have fallen. The most legendary, the most ferocious, the deadliest of them all, Bahamut, awaits whoever dares to attack it to the far north. From the deep south comes such a challenger, complete with a horde of monsters of mythology from the past. In this time, chaos reigns across the land. Towns burn. An empire crumbles. People die. But an opportunity awaits those who would step up and fight for salvation and peace. It grants them not just a chance to save the world, to vanquish their enemies, and to give rise to a more stable society. It provides them a chance to become legends of the war.

Eric will stop at nothing to avenge his family--not even his death. For six long years, Eric has done everything he could to learn his mother's and sister's killer. He slaughtered hundreds of dragons. He suffered gruesome injuries, shattered dreams, and a broken heart. Finally, after his last victory, he has his answer.Ragnor. The magi warn Eric that the task of defeating the second legendary dragon pales in comparison to conquering the first legendary dragon, Indica.

But Ragnor consumes Eric's mind. He will not let anything stop him. He would watch everything burn to the ground in the name of vengeance. He knows he will get his chance. But in doing so, he may very well sacrifice everything-including his friends, his world, and himself.

To become king, Auron must defeat his greatest enemy. As a descendant of the legendary King Eric Garland, savior of Hydor, Auron stands with his father on the precipice of the Garland Kingdom's greatest and final victory over the Magi Rebellion. Once a great ally of humanity, the magi have fallen into darkness and madness. With the glory of their goddess guiding them to victory, they will finally achieve everlasting peace. At least, that's what his father says. But Auron knows the truth. There is no goddess. The magi do not fall so easily. He is capable of far more than his father or his advisors say. Most importantly, those who oppose him and the kingdom the most lie not on the battlefield. They reside within his own castle walls--maybe even within his own soul.

War has destroyed their empire. A demonic dragon haunts their nights. And their greatest threat to survival is each other. Crystil is one of the empire's best soldiers and struggling with the loss of her husband during war. Cyrus and Celeste are siblings from a royal family and coping with the death of their father. Together, they are the sole survivors of humanity. The three barely manage to escape their home but made it to a mysterious new world much like their own-full of beautiful wildlife, endless vegetation and a gorgeous, massive mountain. But when the sun sets, a monstrous dragon comes and hunts all life at night. With the dragon, their own competing desires, and other revelations they cannot even begin to imagine, their fight for survival is on precarious ground every waking-and resting-moment. Will Crystil, Cyrus, and Celeste establish a new civilization on their new world? Will the great dragon send humanity into extinction? Or will the three survivors destroy each other first?

The final battle is near. And the fate of humanity lies in the hands of one woman. Celeste prepares to travel to a distant desert world to face Typhos, the man responsible for the death of millions. But Typhos has his own plans. Hellbent on destroying humanity and the Kastori to remove the pain of his past, he seeks to absorb the greatest magic in the universe. Nothing will stop him, not even with Celeste more intent on saving him than killing him. Will Celeste absolve Typhos of his pain, bringing a peaceful end to the war that has shattered two worlds? Or will Typhos destroy all that haunts him, including the last survivors of humanity?

They thought they had won. They only sealed their death. Cyrus, Celeste, and Crystil have finally found peace. They live in harmony with the Kastori and no longer live in fear of the dragon Calypsius. But back on their old world, Typhos, the creator of the dragon, seethes with rage at the loss of his monster. Blind with anger, he plots for the capture, torture, and execution of all humans and Kastori on Anatolus. Will the survivors use their skills to defeat the greatest threat in the universe and bring true everlasting peace to their old and new world? Or will Typhos bring an end to all life?

Sera may save the world--if it does not kill her first. For her entire childhood, Sera has only known homelessness, hardship, and hostilities toward her and other magi. Fearing their powers, the empire and its citizens persecute magi without mercy or cause. The magi are, simply, seen as the greatest threat to humanity. But just south of the imperial capital lies an ancient dragon so deadly, legend says it can tear asunder an entire city in a single night. Soldiers cannot conquer it. Dragon hunters avoid it. Even magi fear it. Greed and fear, however, are driving powerful figures to hunt the dragon. And in doing so, they may bring about their very end-unless Sera and the other magi can look past centuries of genocide. Should the lust of those in power awaken this mythical monster, the world's only hope lies in the shadows of the empire.

The world crumbles. The end is in sight. And only the sisters of magic can save the world that has tried to kill them. Faye and Claire Quin, separated by five years but united by shared tragedy and magic, are the only ones capable of stopping Vargus. By now all but inevitable, the fallen angel has set out for The Forbidden Lands with only one goal in mind--resurrect Ragnor. No man, no beast, and perhaps not even any other magi can stop him. Despite their past, shared pain, and hatred of humanity, Faye and Claire must make their final stand. If they wish to see the magi survive another night, they must take up arms to defend the very world that has slaughtered their kind for centuries. Because they know that magi do not act for their own interests or self-preservation, but the greater good. They know that they are the only ones capable of preventing the end.

How did Typhos go from savior to destroyer? As a young boy, Typhos Kaos has it all. His mother, Aida, leads the Kastori as chief of the council, and his father, Adanus, advises the council as former chief. The fourteen-year old boy has such power that many call him "the savior." But then his father dies, and his mother crumbles. Without anything else to focus on, Typhos turns his attention to gaining power through the council. But his methods for gaining strength become manipulative. His approach becomes deceitful. People shun him, and Typhos goes from pleasantly hopeful to dangerously hungry. And when he commits crimes so heinous no one saw them coming, only one question is left. How?
