About

What does it mean to be a king? To lead? Edmund, Prince of Aurelith, is a kind-hearted young man beloved by his people. A prodigy in combat, he can stand alongside even the realm’s finest knights. Yet he is about to learn that strength and goodwill alone are not enough to bear the crown awaiting him. Just days before his sixteenth birthday, Edmund leads a hunt for a monstrous beast terrorizing nearby villages, a trial meant to test his ability to command. At his side is Serena, a quiet healer-in-training with no memory of who she once was. What should have been a simple rite of passage becomes a massacre, unleashing a tragedy that threatens Edmund’s future and the fragile peace of the realm. As old wounds that shaped their history begin to reopen, Edmund must learn what it truly means to lead before he loses everything. Meanwhile, Serena must confront the strange power stirring within her, and the truth of her forgotten past, before the world decides her fate for her. Their story does not begin in triumph, but in blood, and in the shadows left behind. What to Expect: • Slow-burn, character-focused fantasy • Political intrigue and leadership struggles • Gradual magic progression and mystery reveals • Dark themes and tragic moments without grimdark excess • Organic worldbuilding revealed through dialogue and lived experience
