Truth is not what is told... it's what is hidden. After the mysterious death of a well-known figure, Maher finds himself drawn into a complex web of secrets, encrypted messages, and shadowy organizations that manipulate the fate of the world from behind the scenes. Amid classified files, suspicious disappearances, and conflicts that span decades, he discovers that the truth is not merely something to be known-it is a price that may be paid in blood. In a world where unseen powers manipulate history, the media, and human minds, the search for truth becomes a journey that may end in death... or in the revelation of the greatest secret humanity has ever known. Some secrets are never truly buried-they simply wait for someone to awaken them.

In a world ruled by five divine dynasties, magic is not just a power - it is currency, bloodline and doom. The so-called "Arcane Empires" guard ancient artifacts whose power can create or destroy entire worlds. But in the shadow of this power, something is formed that was not born, but forgotten. Elios Vael, the "Lost Prince of the Void".

A storm god approaches and destiny follows with him. While the rest of medieval Karnassis is ushered into the industrial age by the outlanders of the Öd, the humble island of Dyma clings to the past. They prepare for a time honored tradition -- the arrival of the Silent Chorus, a divine tempest crafted by Zoreus, the great eidolon of storms. But little do its people know, more than a god is coming to their shores. Mylo has never wanted to leave his island. But with his sister gone and a bond to a demigod accidentally forced upon him, his love of Dyma will be tested, as well as his fear of the world. Verana is leaving Dyma behind to become a powerful summoner, with ambitions to defeat the king and rule all Karnassis in his place. But her brother's shadow still lingers on her, threatening to turn those ambitions to a darker purpose. And a cowardly outlander named Claude hides a devastating secret. And if revealed, it could spell destruction for all Karnassis. When these fates intertwine, events will be set in motion that will change the Etherea forevermore. Cover Art by Amrin A. Sloat
