Chroma Guardians

Seven strangers, scattered across seven nations, are about to discover that their ordinary lives are a lie. Each ofThem—a historian, a martial artist, a guide, an archaeologist, an artist, an engineer, and a biologist—is "chosen". An ancient Power Gem, hidden for millennia, awakens and forces itself upon them, granting them impossible power just as they are attacked by terrifying, shadowy monsters. But this power is not a gift; it's a death sentence. They are the new inheritors of an ancient, secret war. A traitorous god-like being, Malakor, has been hunting these Gems for thousands of years. He is obsessed with uniting them to forge the "Prismatic Core," a weapon that will grant him the power to rewrite reality itself. Pulled from their lives by the mysterious and last loyal "Architect," Zoltan, these seven strangers are brought together. They are told they are "Chroma Guardians"—the world's only defense. But they are not heroes. They are just confused, frightened people from different cultures who don't trust each other. They have no training. They can barely control their new abilities. And they have no idea how to summon the legendary "Azam" beasts they've been promised. Malakor knows this. And he has just unleashed his first catastrophic attack, not to conquer the world, but to draw them out. Time has run out. How can seven strangers who can't even work together hope to defeat an ancient evil that has already toppled gods?
