Hundreds of years ago, humanity stood at the edge of extinction. As the planet withered beneath environmental collapse, a miraculous discovery changed everything: a primordial force hidden deep within the Earth. It healed the sick, restored dying lands, and ushered in a new era of prosperity. But every miracle demanded a price. Exposure to the Arcane unleashed a devastating pandemic that reshaped the world. Civilizations fell. New species emerged. Creatures once thought mythical began to walk beside humanity. Science and magic became one, bound together by a mysterious energy known as Aetheria. Generations later, Aetheria is the foundation of civilization itself. Empires rise upon its currents, and humanity has reached heights once reserved for the divine. "We are the gods," they declared. Yet even gods are merely living things struggling to adapt. And Aetheria is far from finished with them.

After decades of misrule, the fate of the Empire of Sanressia hangs in the balance. Throughout the realm, the great and powerful await the demise of the ailing Emperor Sigismund, eager to exploit the uncertainty of succession for their own ends. As the most influential people of the realm descend upon the capital of Renewal, the future of the Empire appears murky. The court is powerless to stop the re-emergence of factions and contradictory visions for the future. Within the growing chaos are three who may yet have a larger role to play than they believe. Lady Ladislava, a young noblewoman of one of Sanressia's subject kingdoms, dreams of assisting her best friend in her mission to bring long overdue reform and support the people of the Empire. Sir Zachary, the only son of a house accused of treachery twice over and derided as heretics, longs to restore the honour of his family and faith in the eyes of the those that once counted his forebears as equals. General Frieda, a rising star of the Imperial Army from the humblest of origins, wants only to uphold her oath and defend the Empire and its citizens from all enemies, both those without, and those within. All of them wish for a peaceful and more just Empire. But as plans laid long in advance come to fruition, deals are struck behind closed doors, and engines of war are made ready, the fate of Sanressia may already be sealed. Content Warnings: Violence, war, poisoning, disease, religious persecution and xenophobia.

Hey. I'm Arlo Sarsons. If you're holding this book, I'm deeply sorry. You've clearly ignored all the warning signs. This isn't some fun little adventure where I learn life lessons and ride off into the sunset with a big heroic grin. Nah. This is the kind of story where things catch fire for no reason, mysterious people talk in riddles, and I end up in places that probably don't exist on Google Maps. There are monsters. Probably. Secrets? Definitely. And me? I'm just trying to stay alive long enough to figure out what the hell is going on. So if you're expecting something cheerful and heartwarming... maybe try literally any other book. Still here? Cool. But don't say I didn't warn you.
