Magic and Spirit Beads

**Like a novel:

In a world of magic, the fearsome Dark Continent stands apart. Why did the once-glorious Gilded Continent disappear? As the continents vie openly and in secret, people go from living in comfort to being driven from their homes. Strange encounters reveal a shocking secret. When catastrophe strikes, will hatred lead to taking revenge on one's enemy, or joining forces against a common foe? Will the world be swallowed by darkness?
