The dead are rising from their graves. Somewhere beneath the land of Terrassia, something stirs from its ages-old slumber. Leighandra Evenstar planned to attend the resulting summit of nations simply to chronicle the problem and the suggested solutions. Soon, however, she finds herself wrapped up with a group of young heroes intent on making solutions rather than talking about them. They are an odd assortment - humans, an elf, and one of the wolf-like luranar - and yet Leighandra finds purpose in the unity of peoples and nations. Will it be enough? Can the gathering of many peoples from many nations stop the awakening of an ancient evil? Or will Terrassia be the first continent to fall? The Awakening is the eighth installment in the Eve of Redemption series, chronicling the events on Terrassia just after Kari's hunt for Annabelle. Join this new band of heroes as they seek their destiny, complementing the work of Karian Vanador and the Silver Blades in the ultimate fight against the demon kings!
