"When the first light fades and shadows rise, the harbinger shall walk among us-neither savior nor destroyer, but the choice between them." In the fractured realms of Erythoria, seven kingdoms face the oncoming tide of darkness. Whispers of ruin carry tales of relentless sorcerers, ancient prophecies, and kingdoms burned to ash. The only hope lies in the rise of seven heroes-bearers of legendary relics, chosen to wield unparalleled power. Yet, within the storm of fate stands a prince. Born under an ill-starred prophecy and branded as the harbinger of doom, his very existence threatens to tip the balance. Haunted by the world's hatred and the weight of his destiny, he must navigate a perilous path between light and shadow. As darkness consumes the land and alliances crumble, the prince's journey unfolds-fraught with treachery, desperation, and the delicate whisper of hope. Can he defy his foretold fate and emerge as a beacon of light? Or will he succumb to the shadow that beckons, becoming the villain that prophecy demands? In a world teetering on the edge of ruin, the line between savior and destroyer blurs. Destiny calls, but will it be answered?
