Troy Il Kamen is a normal 18-year-old boy growing up in the fantastical land of Grolia, where his father works as a renowned blacksmith. That is, he was normal, up until he and his friends stumble upon a lost and forgotten cave full of power-inducing elements and their whole world turns upside-down. To add to the chaos, the Necromancer is on the rise, picking off nearby cities one by one until King Kvan finally declares war. Troy and his closest element-wielding friends must learn to use their newfound powers as darkness gathers ever closer, but they can’t hold onto their secret for long. When they are drafted into the Grolian Army, the lives of a nation suddenly hang in the balance as they come to grips with their growing abilities. Will the Necromancer’s armies of monsters, giants, kobolds, and skeletons raze Troy’s beloved homeland in an evil quest for power? Can Troy’s new abilities save the nation from ruin? And who exactly is the man with the yellow eyes dragging Troy from his sleep to predict his impending death? Find out in this all-new, unbelievably addictive fantasy series by Paul Young.
