Synopsis

Finding the Scrolls — Book One of The Scrolls of Zerowan A plane crash in the North Atlantic. A forgotten island shrouded in mystery. A doorway to a world history erased. When archaeologist J. Samuel Davies accepts a lucrative job to decipher runic fragments, he expects a routine assignment—not the violent storm that tears his plane from the sky and leaves him stranded on a tiny, uncharted island. Survival is only the beginning. Deep within a coastal cavern, Samuel encounters an enigmatic old man with piercing blue eyes and a collection of perfectly preserved clay urns. Inside lie the legendary Scrolls of Zerowan —the surviving record of a lost continent half the size of Australia, buried before the dawn of recorded history. When Samuel touches the elegant, multicolored characters etched into the scrolls, he doesn’t just read the past— he witnesses it . Journey Through the Four Ages of Zerowan The Early Age — Primordial harmony under three great powers, where pride first took root. The Dark Age — Humanity rises, betrayal fractures the world, and nightmares awaken. The Empty Age — Forty‑five thousand years of collapse, endurance, and shadow. The Gilded Age — A brilliant resurgence of empires, rivalries, and fragile balance. Discover Nations and Creatures of Legend The Kaman Empire — Disciplined, scholarly, and deadly. Mizrach‑Chag — Mountain traditionalists bound uneasily to fierce valley raiders. Dusmay — Highland metallurgists mastering stealth and asymmetrical warfare. The Older Races — Dragons; three‑eyed Grundin engineers; tri‑voiced Jhevella artisans; lethal Rachtmuntz shock‑troops; and the immortal, four‑hearted Zhranti. Finding the Scrolls is your gateway into a sweeping, lore‑rich epic—part survival thriller, part world‑spanning mythic chronicle. This gripping introduction lays the foundation for a vast high‑fantasy universe filled with ancient mysteries, rising empires, and the echoes of civilizations long erased. The scrolls have been opened. Will you answer the call? Step into Zerowan today.
