Last Light of Valdor  (Paperback, Aarav Mehta)

In the shadowed heart of Valdor, where war’s drumbeat echoes unceasingly, young Oliver grapples with a legacy of loss. His father, a casualty of the unending strife with Hertia, leaves behind a void filled only by the distant memories and a promise from his brother Ivan: a promise shrouded in mystery. Alongside his steadfast friend, Shawn, Oliver navigates a youth punctuated by the harsh realities of a land caught in the crossfire of history. As Valdor teeters on the brink of despair, a fateful opportunity emerges. A competition, promising not just glory but powers untold, lures Oliver and Shawn into the heart of a conflict larger than themselves. Victory, however, bears a price - a covert mission into the heart of enemy territory, a mission that could tip the scales of war. But the web of war is woven with secrets, and in its shadows, truths morph into lies. In a world where the truth is a rare commodity and peace a fleeting dream, Oliver’s journey leads him to confront the essence of war itself - and the price of peace in a land long bereft of both.
