[Merslin saga]Guardians of Elysium
In the prosperous kingdom of Elysium, peace has been the only reality for twenty years, all thanks to the legendary hero Muscling, who ended the age of Titans. His twin children, the valiant warrior Rian and the brilliant mage Ria, have grown up as the realm's most promising guardians, destined for greatness.
But this long peace is shattered when a mysterious coalition known as the Noktus launches a sudden invasion. They are no mere conquerors; they wield strange new technologies and dark magic, seeking an ancient artifact known as the Crystal Core. With it, they plan to build an unstoppable army of living Golems and resurrect a long-forgotten god to bring the entire continent to its knees.
Tasked by their father, Rian and Ria embark on an epic journey to the vast continent of Celesta to uncover the secrets of the Crystal Core. Along the way, they will forge powerful alliances with a rugged Dwarven hunter named Brunok , a tormented prince of a great kingdom , a divine cleric named Marielle , and a shaman, Eris, who speaks with nature itself.
But their path is fraught with peril. They are hunted by legendary adversaries—Elahar, the strongest swordsman of the Elves; Brakka, the mightiest warrior of the Orcs ; and Karon, a mysterious mage who commands the mind. Through these deadly confrontations, the twins must grow stronger, not just in their skills, but in their bond as siblings and leaders.
Haunted by defeat, Rian develops an insatiable hunger for the power to protect his loved ones. This desperation awakens a dangerous, ancient force sleeping within his bloodline—the remnant of a Titan, the God of War, Ares. As he wields this overwhelming power, he must fight not only his enemies, but also the darkness threatening to consume him from within.
Can the twin guardians and their loyal companions stop the Noktus's grand design? And can Rian master the divine power he now wields without losing himself to its destructive nature? The fate of Elysium, and the entire continent, hangs in the balance.
