Histories of Purga Series

I read Dragon and liked it - Piers Anthony, bestselling author of the Xanth novels. Rooks have embraced science and technology, inventing microscopic robots called nanos to create any machine they need. The Terraquois are their opposite. They embraced the spiritual and developed a deep bond with nature. This bond allows them to shift into the animal that resembles their true inner selves. These two races have fought each other with brutal savagery for centuries, but a new threat called the Blak Army has emerged and its evil is matched only by its ruthlessness. With insidious, ancient power at the fingertips of their mad leader, Wilhelm Coran, their victory is nearly assured. The only threat to his plans are a Terraquois girl named Keiara and the Rook Prince, Rone Varlamagne. When Rone crashes near enemy lands after he is shot out of the sky, Keiara is the one that stumbles upon him. Instead of leaving him to die, she saves his life. It is one conscious choice but it sets in motion a chain of events bigger than either of them could imagine. Together, the two face foes from every direction and they will stop at nothing to protect each other.

The Blak Army’s power is growing as they sweep across Purga, intent on destroying anything and everything in their way. They have no compassion. No mercy. Everything is a target and with every day that passes, the army only gets stronger and more powerful. The Kingdom of Roanoke is gone but the Terraquois nation survives. And now they are facing the Blak Army alone. Technology will meet the mystical power of the Terraquois in an epic battle. King Rowan has fled to Edaeri to seek refuge and regain his strength but even on the remote floating city, there is no escape from Wilhelm. The Black Army quickly finds him there and attacks. Now Rowan has to survive an assault and protect a city at the same time. The battle for Purga has begun and the only chance for survival is the unlikely pair of Rone Varlamagne and Keiara, a Rook prince and the daughter of the Terraquois chieftain. As Rone searches the ends of the earth for Keiara, he soon realizes that finding her is the least of his problems. Together, everyone must fight for their lives as enemies become friends, friends become enemies, and the world keeps falling to darkness. Chaos is growing.

In the season of betrayal there will rise a catalyst of destruction. The three will come forth as protectors. The Prince. The Savior. The One Born of Both Worlds. They will stand as Sentinels to guard against Blak, the one known as Chaos. The prophecy the Callers have guarded for centuries has finally come to pass. The world of Purga is on the verge of complete destruction. The Terra homelands have been wiped out. The Rooks have been enslaved by Blak and his nightmare creatures called croatoans. King Rowan is in hiding, fighting just to stay alive. There is no safe place anymore and as the two races of Purga struggle and fight, their only chance of survival lies with the three. The Sentinels. There’s just one problem. One of the Sentinels has been captured and enslaved by Blak. His power is being controlled and now Rone and Keiara must fight against one of their own. With the world collapsing all around them, the only way to save everyone is to rescue the third.
