Red Jade Book 5: Delminor's Trials in Bloomington, MN

The Red Jade was just a myth, its shards only whispered about among the mages...
Practitioners of the magic arts pull from the elements available to them, casting complex incantations and deciphering intricate runes, making magic inaccessible except to the most dedicated learners.
Wishing to unlock the secrets of magic for all mages, Delminor pursues knowledge of the elements and the secrets of the Red Jade. His efforts, however, are hindered by the ever-raging war between Hathreneir and Kallisor.
The discovery of one mystical shard lights a thirst in Delminor to hunt any others in existence, but at a cost. Not all agree with his goal of sharing knowledge across the lands, and not all would use his powers for good.
Delminor's trials begin before the War of the Colossus and continue on for decades to come. Only perseverance can help him now.
