The Chronicles of the Manaar

It is difficult to say when the Immersion happened. There is little doubt as to where it began. It was in a village. Despite an impoverished life, the village held a community rich in the love of life and each other. Some would say these conditions are the essence of an Immersion. Mik and his friends are at that age when the future looks infinite in all its possibilities. Life in the Village has never seemed so good. This year they attend the county fair as adults. But there is a world outside that cares little for the country people and their yearly celebrations of life together.

Evil has returned to Arasah after a long respite. The Reaping was only forestalled until this moment, and so it begins again. The Second Reaping. The innocent will pay the price for the usurpers of the power that is released at death. But there is always a redemption. A balance. And sometimes, an immersion. In the aftermath of the destruction of their world, 10 refugees struggle to stay alive. But the Immersion has happened, and they have a greater role yet to play. This is the First Chronicle of the Manaar.
