Welcome to the world of Crystos, a place where Elements help people go about their daily lives. Enter Koshka Ralica, our main character, a young elementalist that lives on the Continent of Fire with his parents and he lives a very good life. That is until the Elemental of Darkness kills his parents and he goes on a quest of revenge to find the Elemental and take him down for good. Along the way he meets tons of new friends and new enemies, but his friends and remaining family have his back. A story of action and adventure, magic and fantasy, and even some cheesy romance. This book has everything that a reader is looking for and maybe even more.

“Try this one. Water Needle Acupuncture!” Ziro yelled as thousands of needles appeared and flew toward their target. The force of the impact caused an explosion and when the smoke cleared Beerosh was still standing with no damage to his body at all. He dashed toward Koshka and began to pummel him with his fists. Ziro, who was watching from the sideline, pulled a crystal out of his pocket that was filled with a greenish-yellow fluid. He tossed the crystal at Beerosh’s feet and Koshka shielded himself as it exploded, enveloping that side of the ring in a green smoke. When the smoke cleared the ring of rock surrounding Koshka crumbled and Beerosh was standing in what appeared to be a puddle of clear liquid. “I can’t believe that you have dissolved the Diamond Skin armor. Now you will feel my true power!” Beerosh began to release massive amounts of earth energy and caused small chunks of the floor to raise and become suspended in the air around him. “No one has ever made it this far and beat me. Now feel the power, Diamond Cutter.” The puddle of liquid quivered and attached itself to the rocks that were surrounding Beerosh, causing them to become diamonds. The diamonds floated high into the air and began to rain down on Koshka and Ziro. They ran straight ahead and as they ran they created swords of fire. They dashed toward Beerosh and Koshka vanished only to appear behind him with his blade pressed to the back of his neck as Ziro pressed his against his throat.
