The First Two Companions, The Assembly of Thirteen 3rd ed
Many years ago, the Empire of Quetza's emperor would rise and fall on the decisions of thirteen gifted people. Until one woman, Tatiana Falestos, destroyed the cycle by the genocide of an entire group of people.
Four hundred and fifty years later, the emperors further corrupted the cycle. Today's Emperor, Klastos Falestos, will do anything to keep his throne, including assassinating his brother and family.
One night, a small woman comes from Earth to change the world. June Dunbar, a hurt earth woman, walks out of orange light and starts the change cycle. The Assembly needs four companions. The second may be a murderer, a destroyer of towns and cities, working for the emperor.
Change rests on the decision of thirteen people, healers, slaves, warriors, nobles, and friends.
Rage, hate, fear, intrigues, and conspiracies would surface. Ancient curses in need of cures, old scores ready to be settled, and the lives of all in five Kingdoms at the mercy of demons that walk during the day.
