Wishes and regret filled the air twenty-five years ago. Fates were tested. Dreams were shattered. But within that desolation of black, remained one glimmer of hope. Embarking on a journey beyond calculation, Afearia must overcome more than a rogue kingdom and a self-appointed king. She faces world altering decisions, countless enemies, and the rawness of humanity once the rules have been thrown away. Entrusted by the realm Elders, her importance to Terra's future, and all the realms, rest solely on her. Raised since birth to be an elite warrior, she will soon realize that no amount of training could have prepared her for what's to come. Regardless of what awaits, Afearia?the seventy-second elysian solider?has arrived.

Charles Lee has always been a fan of stories with greater meaning than what the surface portrays. His love for profound fantasy began at a young age. His growing interest in thought-provoking stories ranged from a gamut of different areas of literature. These are experiences he's cherished and evolved with for over a decade. It's his key drive for creating compelling, unique, philosophical stories.
When he decided to begin his own novel, The Way To Dawn, he originally had no intention of pursuing writing as a career. But when he fell in love with his own characters, he became inspired. He was so proud of his creations that he wanted to share this part of himself with others. In no time, writing soon became more than just his way of expression, it became his wings.
