There are lands long whispered of in legend—kingdoms ruled by steel and shadow, where Gods have shaped destinies and mortals carve their own fates in blood and ambition.
Welcome to Orrenvale and beyond, a world where power is a fragile illusion and danger lurks behind every corner.
At the heart of the first book lies Orrenvale, a land where six powerful noble houses rule with ruthless ambition, their games of power shaping the lives of those beneath them. Beyond its borders:
- To the North lies Vargrad, an unforgiving land of ice and beasts, where the Varkari—shapeshifters bound by ancient pack laws—fight for survival.
- To the East, the elven realm of Elarion thrives in secrecy, its golden towers and enchanted forests sheltering the Aelvari and Sylthari, each divided by their beliefs in the Sun and the untamed wilds.
- To the West, in the mist-shrouded lands of Duskmire, the enigmatic Noctari dwell—immortal beings who offer power to those willing to sacrifice what they hold most dear.
- And far beyond, on a Cursed Island, a forgotten ruin slumbers, waiting for the one who will awaken it…
Three Gods shaped this world, their influence lingering like echoes in the wind:
Aurelion, the Sun God, who blessed the Aelvari and Sylthari with light and judgment.
Lunareth, the Moon Goddess, guardian of Varkari and the silent watcher of fate.
Shadrael, the Goddess of Darkness, creator of Noctari, who gifts power only to those willing to pay the price.
But their voices have grown quiet. Their will, uncertain.
Legends speak of lost magic, of power waiting to be reclaimed. Of an age-old balance teetering on the edge. Those who seek the truth must be ready to challenge fate itself.
Will you walk through the shadows?
Will you seek the truth?
Or will you become just another name, swallowed by history?
