The #1 bestselling Ruin Mist books finally back in print for the 20th Anniversary have been translated into 12 languages and sold over 5 million copies worldwide! In an age long since lost to myth and memory a race of supreme giants known as titans ruled over all the lands. Darkness came to mark the end of the age of the titans as surely as there was ever light at the beginning. A new age came. An age of men elves and dwarves. After countless wars waged against themselves each other and the other races men elves and dwarves settled in to an uneasy peace within their divided lands. In time like the titans before them dwarves became folk of myth and legend leaving only absence like a darkness where once there had been a great presence and a light. The age of men and elves had arrived its arrival marked by the coming of the great war. Victory for men above all others brought little joy even though it ushered in a new age. The age of men. Now in the twilight of the age of men there are some who fear this age to be the last. For if men succumb to darkness there will be no beginning and darkness will surely rule forever.
