Filled with heroism and happiness, pain and loss, reflection and self-discovery, "Guardians of the Dawn" is a first introduction to a vast new world. On a continent where kings and queens ceaselessly struggle for dominance, a ruthless emperor decides to restore by force of arms the Tiberian Empire, which has fallen far from its previous heights. Other rulers oppose him, and the resulting war blazes into an epic firestorm as competing kingdoms and hidden agendas collide and fuel the bloodshed. From a proud noble who tries to recover from a terrible mistake and achieve vengeance on his enemies to a street girl merely trying to live another day, these tales tell of men and women who survive amid the chaos of life and war.
