MysteriousMaayra
When forbidden knowledge and awakened crystals offer a way to defy death itself, the question is no longer who is good or evil - but who gets to decide what love is allowed to cost.
Those called heroes protect balance by denying one man the chance to reclaim the lover the world stole from him.
The one called a villain believes no law is worth a love left to rot.
Between magic schools and battlefields, beasts and books, devotion and obsession, every choice fractures the world a little more.
This is a story of magic and friendship.
Of grief and devotion.
And of a world where righteousness and cruelty often wear the same face.
