The Ruinous Curse : The Hunt for Alesta

Barrett of Westmore may be a prince, but he's just like any other adventurous teenager. He spends time with his friends exploring their city, a haven for fairies, cyclops, talking doors, and other magical beings. He hopes to get closer to the lovely Zanora, whose fighting spirit has captured his heart. Unfortunately, foretold war may put his romantic ambitions on hold.

The coming battle is no ordinary fight. Even if Barrett's countrymen defeat the forces of the ancient sorceress Alesta, her Ruinous Curse will condemn them to an endless cycle of violence,forcing humanity to wipe itself out. As invasion forces march on Westmore, the

kingdom's only hope is the Helserian, prophesied ages ago to defeat Alesta. As for the rumors the prince is the chosen one-Barrett thinks they're impossible. He's a fighter, not a wizard.

Until the day assassins attack, awakening a power the prince didn't know he possessed. Aided by Zanora and his friends, he must now face ancient dragons and cave-dwelling Trowkens to acquire the tools needed to master his magic and confront the sorceress. Then he'll face an impossible task: force Alesta to lift the curse, or destroy her if she refuses. For if he fails, he'll watch helplessly as his world tears itself apart.
