Ark of The Elder Blood
Many centuries ago, the gates of Hell were opened during a time of peace, allowing the fearsome Demon King to rise up from his blistering prison. This caused a war to erupt between the forces of the Demon King Zephyr and all the kingdoms of the land but was only won by the hand of the Elven Queen Myrinth, ruler of Vesyria. The ancient civilization of the Elves completely vanished after the war mysteriously.
Presently, the world is one that is conquered by the evils that crawled out of Hell all those years ago and humankind has adapted to living amongst the dark creatures that stalk them. Contractors, mages who present exceptional skill and battle prowess, exist to keep the borders of the human territories safe.
Among the best of the best, in a profession that often leaves those who walk its path a little bit empty inside, Kieran Priestly finds himself riding blissfully on the heels of inebriation and self-depreciating behavior after losing his beloved to Spawns (demon-like abominations created by the Barren Kingdom). He journeys without direction until he is met with a peculiar and cunning young Elven sorceress, Yvain Avis, who is on a covert mission to recover a powerful and ancient Vesyrian artifact that once belonged to Queen Myrinth.
As sinister plots to revive the demon king simmer quietly on the forefront, the unlikely pair, now intertwined by an uncanny web of fate, begin a tedious expedition through the perils that lay between them and the end of the world as they know it. And with the threat of the kingdom becoming an actual hell on earth growing ever closer, Kieran must go on his own journey of discovery to prepare himself for the battles to come . With equal parts determination and fatigue, they fight and weave their way into the heart of danger.
