Gleams of Aeterna is a book series written by Vera Kamsha
There are many worlds in the Universe. Together they make up the Necklace. Every world is a Pearl in the Necklace. Something alien threatens the Necklace, but the Guards of Sunset manage to protect it, though sometimes they have to destroy one of the Pearls to save the rest.
Long ago the Guards lived in the Citadel of Aeterna, and there were Aras, whose job was to find warriors, who would join the Guards. But then something happenned, the Citadel was destroyed, and all who were there were killed. The fires of Aeterna stopped burning, preventing others from becoming the Guards. At the same time "rattons", creatures destroying the worlds from the inside, appeared. The Guards turned up to be unable to fight them, only people could defeat the rattons.
The story starts in Kertiana, a world almost destroyed by rattons.
Kertiana's level of development corresponds to the Earth's 17th century. |
