THRYNVEIL - Vol. 1: The Chains Melted
Some people dream of freedom.
JoJo has been trying to get arrested for it.
Seventy three crimes. Seventy three attempts to force the Spirit of Zebac to do what the law demands - banish him from the island kingdom of Vehl Zehra and send him into the vast, dangerous world beyond the sea. But the Spirit keeps refusing, the chains keep holding, and JoJo's dream of becoming the greatest warrior in the world keeps pressing against the walls of the only home he has ever known.
Then the Balista arrives.
Three levels. A forest that devours souls. A cave that breaks minds. A sparring ground that determines your worth. And somewhere inside the darkness, powerful forces hunting specific targets - making a deadly selection even deadlier.
To earn his freedom JoJo must survive. But survival, it turns out, is easier with the right people beside you.
A swordsman who swore loyalty in the middle of a monster forest. A giant who carries the weight of a promise made to the dead. A girl who fell from another world entirely, carrying a power she is only beginning to understand. A former slave who bends the laws of reality from the pages of a book.
They were not chosen. They were not selected. They found each other in the dark and decided that was enough.
The world has never met anyone like them.
It is about to.
Some chains are made of iron. Some are made of fear. The hardest ones to break are the ones you never knew were there.
