The Stolen Destinies by Demi Griffin
THE FATE OF THE KING’S PLAN HINGES ON SOLVING THE MYSTERY!
He had been there since the dawn of Everlasting, when the Age of Innocence began, a time he could still recall vividly. Wren, with unwavering loyalty, dedicated himself to serving his King, determined to ensure the King’s plan culminated in ultimate victory, no matter the cost. Wren was captivated by the intricate details of the King’s magnificent creation, almost as much as the King himself. He was delighted to assist the specially selected men and women as they embarked on the crucial journey towards Everlasting’s Illumination.
Wren had been many things across the Ages. Caladrius. Dragon. Atheling. Augur. Owl. He was ill-prepared to assume this new form and become the final bulwark against the enemy as the King’s fragile unity with the Ambassador and Prince disintegrated.
The misalignment resulted in a sense of urgency, prompting the King to make seemingly spontaneous decisions. The Heralds of Enlightenment were unaware of their destinies. Strategically, someone removed four of them and tore out the pages of the other eight. The only clues to identify the enemy came in the form of a black substance known as shadow dust.
Wren was accustomed to guiding others in shaping their fates in the grand tapestry of Everlasting’s history. However, the weight of the destinies resting solely on his shoulders was a novel sensation for him. As the Bookshelf of the Ages was desecrated by theft, the air thickened with tension, disrupting Wren’s peaceful repose. Tasked with safeguarding the Divine Territory and rescuing the stolen destinies, he embarked on a quest filled with mysterious clues and the palpable sense of urgency. Would his failure thwart the King’s plan toward The Illumination?
(This interlude should be read after book five and before book six of the Illumination Chronicles)
