The four novels are the chronological tales of how heroes fought for what they believed in, many not succeeding and many succumbing to inevitable tragedies along the way. The various characters end up fighting for their very survival, some have goals and some try to find them along the way, some succeed in the game of love and others don't, but most importantly they fight based on what their gut tells them to do. They want to make the world a better place and even in failure they do.
