I was drowning in the bottle, done with it all. The fame, the crowds, the fans, the spotlight. I just wanted it all to go away. I've been on top of the country music charts for twenty years.

The Nymradic, an ancient and powerful race, has returned, aided by none other than Djaron Algast, Denoril’s overthrown king.

Running to a new realm that could hold vital information is our only chance. With that comes closing the distance between me and the godly powers that wish to use me for their own gain.
