Journey of the Forgotten

A Novel

By: Charles Franklin

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The city of Anistemia has withstood its first great battle for survival, but peace is fleeting. Knights, warriors, and commoners alike must embark on perilous journeys, venturing into new territories where long-lost civilizations have risen from the ashes of the old world—each harboring dark secrets and unexpected dangers.

Collin Mann, now thrust into a position of leadership, sets out to find his brother, Ethan, a knight whose courage and strength are desperately needed. But their search splinters as the party faces insurmountable challenges. With trust fractured and some lost to the wilderness, new alliances must be forged, forcing Collin to confront the heavy burden of command.

Bliss, separated from Collin, leads her own expedition into the icy northern realms, uncovering long-buried truths about her past. Amid the treacherous, frozen wastelands, where danger lurks at every turn, she must decide if she can escape with her life—and with the knowledge she has gained.

In the scorching southern deserts, Ty—a knight stripped of his hands by the malevolent Saetos—braves the wastelands alone. Though his journey is fraught with pain and uncertainty, he presses on, knowing the fate of Anistemia hangs in the balance. Yet what he finds in the desert may shatter his resolve.

Back home, new threats emerge within Anistemia. As tensions rise, factions form, pitting Felicia and her allies against the city’s council. With the city on the brink of collapse, she must harness newly discovered powers to stand against an enemy far greater than any they have faced before.

As knights face off against the looming face of evil, and a queen rises, the search for Ethan becomes a race against time. The fate of the city—and their very survival—rests on their ability to transform into the warriors their world needs them to be.
