A long, long time ago, a time when the ways of magic had still been deeply connected to the human heart, a brave man faced against a power hungry individual, wanting to force his reign upon the world. Light had shone brightly as the Light came to be the victor, while the Dark was sealed deep below the face of earth.
Centuries have passed since then and the story is now nothing more but a good night story. But... the great evil that had been sealed away, is about to make it's return, lashing it's claws into the peace that had been treasured for so long to tear it apart and bring an era of fear once again.
However, as much as once the Light stood up against the Dark, so the story will repeat and a new Light, brighter than ever before will arise. Though can it reach it's potential in time? Or will the inferno of hope be extinguished as nothing but a mere candle?

Chronicles of Alora: Stargazer
Beneath a sky stitched with constellations and secrets, three girls were born on the same winter night-a princess cloaked in shadow, a conqueror wrapped in flame, and a light-bearer destined to scatter the darkness. Each carries a thread of an ancient prophecy, their fates bound to the future of the kingdom and the balance of a world teetering on the edge of ruin. Eve knows nothing of this prophecy. Growing up in the quiet mountain village of Starling Hollow, her life has been shaped by whispered tales of the Fae, restless dreams, and a gnawing sense of not quite belonging. But when glowing lights begin to call her into the ancient Aurorian Forest, Eve discovers the truth: she is not who she thinks she is. Stolen as a child and stripped of her memories, Eve is Alora-the light-bearer of prophecy. And the Fae, long thought to be extinct, are waiting for her return. Guided by visions and whispers of the past, Eve must navigate a fractured kingdom, unravel the mystery of her stolen identity, and reclaim the power hidden within. But not all lights shine for good, and not all who seek her mean her well. The path to the Vale of the Fairies is treacherous, and the choices she makes will determine not only her fate, but the fate of the entire kingdom. In a world where stars hold secrets, forests whisper names, and magic is both a gift and a curse, Eve must decide: will she follow the light, or be consumed by the shadows?
