Fugitive Stories

One thousand years ago, the world nearly burned to ash. Now, history is rising to finish the job. Shiro has lived his entire life bound to a quiet mountain farm, trapped inside a body that violently rebels against him-a boy with wildfire in his blood and a frame too fragile to hold it. To the world, he's a broken leaf. To himself, he's a spectator in his own youth, watching the realm move without him. Then, the sky cracks open. When his mother, Saki-the Citadel's most feared Vanguard Captain-deserts her post, she doesn't return for a peaceful homecoming. She comes back hunted. Branded as traitors by an autocratic King who claims absolute ownership over their souls, mother and son are forced onto a perilous road into the unknown. To survive, they won't just have to outrun the King's relentless Vanguard-an elite legion of iron-clad hunters trained to erase entire bloodlines. They'll have to face the cold silence that has divided them for a lifetime. Their escape turns into an extraordinary voyage when a girl falls from the stars, carrying a celestial light that miraculously quiets the fire in Shiro's bones. But her arrival ignites an all-out war. Power-hungry warlords hunt her divine power, while ancient horrors awaken from the deep to pass a final, brutal judgment on mankind. Stepping beyond the farm into a breathtaking, unforgiving world far bigger than he ever dreamed, Shiro finds himself surrounded by rogue warriors, unlikely allies, and a growing found family. To stop an ancient cycle from repeating, he must learn to master the storm within before it breaks him-and rise as the champion a broken world desperately needs.
