Quest of the Five Flames (Mission Stone #1)

Earth elemental Garrett was known as all these things, and more, prior to his long sought after death. Having been reborn, his malice and ambitions have not changed. Nor has his plans to destroy anyone who stands in his way, including his fellow Keepers reincarnated as well. As a high ranking member of the Royal Guard, Garrett is close to the inn

Earth elemental Garrett was known as all these things, and more, prior to his long sought after death. Having been reborn, his malice and ambitions have not changed. Nor has his plans to destroy anyone who stands in his way, including his fellow Keepers reincarnated as well. As a high ranking member of the Royal Guard, Garrett is close to the inner circle of Calesto’s royal family. His sights are locked on the sole heir, Princess Katana. Winning her favor will gain him a crown, stealing the stone of the Five Flames will infuse him with ultimate power. However, the relic was hidden from him centuries ago, just beyond his reach.

In the midst of Katana’s staged kidnapping, another sweeps in at the last moment, rescuing her before Garrett. The wind elemental’s golden eyes are far too similar to the one man Garrett despises more than anyone, Lord Zephyr, the one who finally sent him to the grave.

Macalen is Zephyr reborn, yet his desire is not for power, but for freedom. The son of a great general, his marriage and future have already been arranged. He wants to break free. Tries to break free, but duty and honor drag him back into line. Instead, it is Fate that leads him to the princess’s side where his skills with a blade are instantly put to the test. Unfortunately, the newly made warrior isn’t able to save them from being taken by Garrett’s hired thugs.

Greedy mercenaries, twisted nobles, and immortals with secret agendas, will all challenge Macalen’s growing abilities. As one battle leads to another, his new enemies may not be the biggest threat to returning Katana safely home. Macalen has his own secrets under close guard. If discovered, he fears it just may be what ultimately destroys them. For in his memories lay the location of what Garrett malevolently seeks, the Five Flames.
