A STRATEGIC PLAN WAS IN PLACE…
POWERFUL ALLIANCES WERE FORMED…
BUT NOTHING COULD STOP THE GREAT WAR.
After Tim Charnal was captured by Allen Chan and the ruthless iron-masked
guards, Sophia Freeman has no choice but to follow their orders and meet
them in the Forbidden Land to free their Master, Tombermon, an ancient tree
giant. The release of great evil leads to broken promises, countless
sacrifices, and an inevitable war. As the islanders face a losing battle, an
unexpected machine army comes to their rescue. But is it enough to stop the
enemy and their threatening new era of darkness once and for all?
About the Author

Thuan is writing under a pen name of T.X. Troan. “X” stands for Xu, his grandmother’s name who passed away. And “Troan” is a combination of his parents’ names.

Mental Health Resources for those in the USA – In light of the recent election, we want to put out a message that LGBTQIA+ and minorities are always welcome here. We may post promos in conjunction with tour companies that spout worldviews we don’t always agree with, but we do our best to avoid any openly phobic posts, and should you notice any, we’d appreciate you contacting us with this form to let us know.
