Everna Saga: The Pilgrim of Ishmina
A Legend of the Crystal Wars Story
A Fantay Series Novel - Written by Andry Chang

What truly defines a hero?
Does he fight for a grand ideal?
Does he shield the helpless from tyranny?
Does he risk his life for the greater good?

Seeking these answers, Marc Raine journeys across continents, guided by purpose and shadowed by loss.
His answer, hard-won and forged in blood, sweat, and heat, he intends to pass down to his son, Arcel Raine, a young man poised on the edge of a dark path.

Yet, in that gift lies the first spark, a seed that may one day awaken the true destiny of the Rainbow Crystal Heroes.
