In a swift turn of events, the world is plunged into chaos when a self-proclaimed emperor leads a worldwide invasion.

A lone wizard, hiding his magical powers, holds what might be the world's only chance at survival. Does he have the strength to do what is right, or will he walk the path of selfishness? Will he trade his lifes goal of revenge to aid the people of Rund��, or will he leave them to the coming darkness? Liberation As the invasion comes to an end, Orin leads the last remaining people in a battle against Amadeus and his demonic host. Sorely outnumbered, they fight for the survival of the human race. The priest Tymothy awakens in the Coalition fortress to find himself alone. With a task given to him by God, he begins his search for the remnant of people left in the world. But an ancient evil stirs in the earth, roused by the holy power that surrounds Tymothy. Using its foul powers, the creature begins causing strife among the people. Can Tymothy reach them in time? Or will the ancient evil consume all in its path?
Richard Fierce is a fantasy author with a passion for storytelling that dates back to his childhood. He first ventured into publishing in 2007 and hasn’t looked back since. His books are filled with dragons, adventure, and the kind of epic journeys that transport readers to new worlds.
In 2000, Richard was named Poet of the Year for his poem The Darkness, and his love for literature extends beyond just writing—he co-founded the Acworth Book Festival in Georgia to help bring authors and readers together. Though he originally worked in retail, he eventually transitioned to the tech industry, balancing his career with his writing.
Richard lives in Northwest Georgia with his family and a lively mix of pets, including four dogs (huskies!). He often jokes that his house feels like a zoo, but he wouldn’t have it any other way.
His love for fantasy started in high school when he was gifted a copy of Dragons of Spring Dawning by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman—a book that sparked a lifelong love for dragons and epic quests.
Whether he’s writing about dragon riders, lost civilizations, or ancient prophecies, Richard Fierce continues to craft stories that pull readers into unforgettable adventures.
