Book excerpt: In the center of a secluded valley stands something that is known to be out of place. An obsidian spire rises out from the earth as if a giant thrust it there. In the spire's shadow something is happening that will birth those who will end the evil dwelling in another realm. It is often thought only evil resides in shadows, but in the recesses of this shadow, enough light shines between the darkness to nurture a power that can defeat that evil. Follow seven Chosen as they endure adventure after adventure until they are powerful enough to overcome an evil Below the Obsidian Spire... Or until the evil overcomes them.
