Shattered (The Solstice Cycle #3)

Chapter II

Long ago, before gods walked the earth, the continent was rich in language—different tongues spoken from Onita to Leuxrith to Vatha to Kreah.

But before the First War, when turmoil began rumbling between the gods, a single, common tongue emerged.

The old languages faded from frequent use as the conflict spread.

When the First War ended, this new language persisted.

To this day, while many kingdoms cling to pieces of their ancient speech, all under the gods’ domain speak the common tongue.

It is a phenomenon that historians, researchers, and religious leaders have pondered for millennia. Perhaps only the gods have an answer.
