In a world where gods once walked and machines now rule their graves, three souls stand against the ruins of eternity. Centuries after the goddess Aureth's fall, the last great city of Eryndor thrives on Magitek - technology powered by the remnants of divine essence. But beneath its shining towers lies a world built on lies, fear, and forgotten sins. Yuito Auron, the son of a fallen hero, scavenges the wastes searching for meaning in the shadow of a dying age. By his side are Amane Lysoria, a healer whose warmth hides an ancient sorrow, and Rikuya Stormvale, a fighter whose laughter masks scars of his own. Together, they'll uncover the truth buried beneath Eryndor's illusion of unity - and confront a darkness that began long before their time. As war brews and stars fall, their bond will be tested against the end of an age - and the rebirth of something far older.

Noah - a human commoner, scarred by loss. Syl - an elven princess, chained to a crown she never wanted. He seeks vengeance. She bears duty. Their bond should never exist... Yet it grows, fragile and defiant - against everything they were taught to believe. A lavender field. A spark. A memory that refused to die. Now fate reunites them at the Academy - where every secret cuts deeper than a blade. The boy she knew is gone; in his place stands a man devoured by the past. Syl carries the truth: She was the girl from his past. To confess could shatter him. To stay silent could let the boy she remembers... Be lost forever. Within its walls, mercy is a myth. Trials, loyalties, and whispers force them to choose Between Choices: vengeance or forgiveness, duty or freedom, love or emptiness. Amid ancient enemies and rot beneath crowns, love is the most dangerous choice of all. Will she confess before rage consumes the boy who once held her hand?

Out of his depth and unable to escape, can Kuro find a place among the other misfits at the school, or will his past return to ruin the one chance he has to leave his life in the shadows? I'm also publishing this on Royal Road.
