Sinossi

Ulther, year 194 after the Scourge 


The Old Gods are dead, according to the Meager One’s prophets. The dead pyres, always lit during the years of the plague, are little more than a bitter memory. A new era dawns in Boreal, marked by thunder weapons and warships. The nations of tomorrow, proud, and fierce, are being forged; and among them, unstoppable, a common enemy rise: the Taibnian Empire.
The city of Mur’ubi is now the strategic location that conditions the sea dominion of the known world. When a brutal murder leads the House Mur Asyb to retake an old blood feud, four men will dive into the shadows to face ghosts of their own: Naud, a young assassin in the cult of the Goddess Mahyarat, will shudder upon discovering a past that contradicts that which he thinks he knows. Zaiel Mevnoras, Armada veteran turned Seneschal, will feel on his shoulder the weight of responsibilities he never thought to undertake. Nezaj, patriarch of the Mur Asyb, will fight to keep his lineage’s influence sunk into rage and resentment. And it is precisely there, in the shadows, where Faruh lives, an old soldier caught up in an old promise, whose blind eyes have damned him to make do in the streets.

    Our Duty is to be Ready...
     
     
     
    The eclectic band of friends and strangers grows. The chasm between what is legal and what is right continues to expand in proportion to the decline of civility. And Phil’s heart is broken from tragic loss...
     
     
     
    Even in the fresh pain of the recent events, he learns an old friend has fallen to the actions of a decaying society. Fueled by both compassion and over-confidence, Phil ventures into the greater Slaughter County area for answers—why are those he cares about perishing? To what end? Who does he have to make pay?
     
     
     
    In the shadows of the disasters, two new threats grow. One, almost a cliché, as a local emergency manager stretches the boundaries of her power. The other, almost too hard to believe, as a ruthless cartel organizes in the background. And across the Puget Sound, like-minded, good-hearted Americans of every background are forming up to protect their communities.
     
     
     
    Will Phil clear his head before his drastic actions get himself or others hurt? Who will step up and remind those who would grab power in not to push the folks who just want to be left alone?

    Princess Fiona is a political hostage in a gilded cage, a pawn in a game between her tyrannical father and a desperate prince. She lives in a world bleeding out from the Withering, a magical plague her father has learned to weaponize. Her only hope—and the kingdom’s—lies in an ancient prophecy: four lost heirs must unite in a Convergence to heal the land. But within the secret archives of her prison, Fiona uncovers a horrifying truth. The prophecy is a lie. 
    Across the blighted kingdom, a charismatic rebel leader searches for the other heirs, clinging to the prophecy as a banner of hope. His quest leads him to a broken mercenary with a terrifying, untamed fire burning in her soul, a woman who despises saviors and trusts only steel. They are all pieces of a puzzle they don't understand, hunted by kings and princes who would use them for their own ends. For the prophecy does not call for heroes; it demands a sacrifice. Three heirs are destined to be the fuel, and the fourth, a vessel for a ritual that will not save the world, but break it. 
    As a terrifying vision reveals the true face of their enemy—a shadowy mastermind orchestrating their doom to achieve godhood—the game is shattered. Alliances fracture, loyalties are betrayed, and empires crumble into chaos. Scattered, hunted, and armed with a devastating truth, the four heirs must now race against time and a looming war to forge their own destiny. They must find an alternative path to salvation before the architect of their ruin claims his throne and their world is plunged into an age of unending darkness.
