About

A Curse, A Fire, A Prophecy The empire has long kept the cursed on a tight leash. Aigni cannot train with the sword, he cannot learn magic, he cannot make friends or even play with the other children. His red hair and eyes set him apart. They mark him. What they mark him for, is death. The empire will not allow the cursed to live past fourteen, and Aigni's days are numbered. But one day, strangers begin to arrive at his home. Speaking not of a curse, but of a prophecy. They say that one of the so-called 'cursed' will slay the immortal emperor. Perhaps even Aigni himself. Desperate to escape his fate, he flees into the godless Sojourne mountains. A place that even the legions fear to tread. With monsters and worse things ahead, and the endless marching legions behind, he can only rely on his new teachers if he hopes to survive. What to Expect: A classic epic fantasy journey with strong progression elements, hard magic systems, and an expanding world full of secrets, monsters, and conspiracies. The story begins focused on character and worldbuilding before opening into a fast-paced, action-heavy adventure.
