What if reaching your next birthday depended on whether you could save the world or not?

Summer begins in Esealreandra and heats up quickly as every city is burned to the ground. Someone must venture behind enemy lines to retrieve the Crystal of Aromia, a magical crystal that can keep the forces of evil at bay. Those chosen to retrieve the crystal are only teenagers: Orion, Michacela, and Lucindell. While dodging death at every corner, they soon come to terms with the fact that reaching their 15th birthdays might not be an option.

Sample:
"Michacela began to go numb and a tingling sensation in his fingers spread to his hand and arms as he fought two more beasts. They attacked the weakened Michacela, and he fought back with all heart and soul, but it was not enough. He collapsed after piercing one of their necks and stabbing the other in the stomach. It grew dark as the light slowing faded in his peripherals until his vision went completely black."
