Zanchier

Bain Brinley is sixteen and his future has never looked brighter. Moving to Loradin has been a huge positive, not only for him but his family as well. His mother Harper, and father Wilkins, are still concerned about the possibility of being hunted by Commander Raif Martray, the man whose evil plans his mother thwarted. On top of that, rumors of wars are stirring around Zanchier, causing unrest amongst the people. The Zanchieths from each city, and the government officials, continually bicker over the highly sought-after minerals beneath the Zanchier soil, posing a very real threat of the dreaded war rumors. Bain's younger brother Seadon has moved to the Praxtingen Airship Academy to learn to fly the newly designed airships. His younger sister Wynne has discovered a gift for speaking to the massive and deadly creatures of Zanchier and has started training at the LARS institute. Bain's best friend Kreelie Rintel, who still lives in Port Proud, has been unusually standoffish as of late, and Bain fears they are growing apart. Bain has also discovered a few secrets located behind a waterfall in the Carpasian Mountains, which will very soon become important for the safety and wellbeing of the people of Zanchier.

It has been three years since the three army war first started. Now the entirety of Zanchier fights against the Scaithers, and Zanchier is now in an almost constant state of chaos. The growing Scaither organization is harder to control as more and more people take to the undisciplined raider lifestyle. The Scaither attacks are growing more frequent, especially in the smaller villages, which have limited militaristic resources. The gifted LARS telepaths now patrol Loradin and its surrounding villages and cities twice daily using the creatures with which they have bonded, and are known as the Animal Brigade. Wynne Brinley, now fourteen, has discovered an underwater creature living beneath the southern most shores of Everly Lake near the dreaded and feared Marshlands. Silus Aersor, her friend and Raisedback Vindaper vendor tells her of the legend that the old-timers often speak; an evil deadly creature known as the Sea-beast. Could what she saw have been that same creature? Can Zanchier overcome the growing rule of the Scaithers? Is there still hope for the future of the youth of Zanchier?
