A new constitution prepares Carlissa for an era of enlightenment. The harsh traditions of the past fade, and a promise of freedom stirs the air.<\/h6>\n
In the space of one terrifying day, that promise is shattered in a bloodbath of fire and magic.<\/h6>\n

Thousands of years ago, an epic battle was fought between good and evil. The demon lords had opened a door to the realms of hell itself, and their horde threatened to overrun the earth. But the Kalarans, led by the hero Calindra, destroyed their hellgate and drove them from the world.<\/p>\n

The Great War has long since been lost to myth and legend. The Church struggles for relevance as the people forget their covenant with the gods. A renaissance of freedom and learning stirs the air in the modern age of Carlissa, led by the royal family, and the wisdom of the Archmage.<\/p>\n

All of that comes to an end when a dome of shimmering magic appears in the capital city. In the chaos that follows, the people fight desperately for survival, and wonder bitterly why the gods seem to have abandoned them. Their only hope lies with the magic of the Archmage \u2014 and his, with a young princess who never wanted to rule. She must find the strength to set aside her bard\u2019s calling and take up a battle against impossible odds, or surrender her land and people to the Black Magus and his demons.<\/p>\n

Dawn of Chaos finally brings the award-winning Sanctum of the Archmage role-playing games to the world of fantasy fiction. Don’t miss this exciting first volume in the saga!<\/h6>\n
