Island Pride
Two races, one island, and the shadow that threatens to consume them all
- Fantasy
The island continent of Sungrass is a land of vibrant magic and ancient steel, where the elves of Amber Center and the trolls of Olive Village maintain a delicate, prideful peace. But the ground beneath their feet is starting to rot. When mysterious tremors fracture the elven farmlands, Jannelor Valen and Edyrm Sun-Step discover a primordial darkness known as the rock-rot. This ancient shadow isn't just breaking the earth; it is birthing shadow-creatures that drain the very life from the soil. As the two elves race to warn their kin, a second threat appears on the horizon: the massive human fleet of Admiral Valerius Hallow. Twenty years ago, the humans lost their army on these shores. Now, driven by colonialist fervor and a thirst for vengeance, they have returned to reclaim what they believe is theirs. While the battle-hardened trolls prepare for a bloody coastal defense, the true enemy rises from below, threatening to swallow both friend and foe alike. With the island literally splitting apart, the elves and trolls must confront deep-seated prejudices to forge an impossible alliance. In a three-way struggle for survival, only unity can stop the darkness—or the pride of the island will become its grave.
