"Life in this city is a double-edged sword; it binds you in warmth but bleeds you in deceit. For every whispered vow of love, there lurks a silent oath of betrayal."
In the intricate tapestry of a city named Talseth, divided by power and secrets, Amren, a young changeling and student of the arcane, is drawn into a labyrinth of hidden histories and forbidden magic. Her quest for knowledge leads her to unearth truths that threaten the delicate balance of her world. Amidst the shadows of a city where noble intrigue runs deep, she finds herself entangled in a game that blurs the lines between allies and adversaries.
As she dives deeper into the mysteries of her heritage and the city's tumultuous past and future, Amren's path crosses with Elian, a figure who challenges her understanding of friendship and loyalty. Together, they navigate a world where trust is a rare commodity, and every revelation brings them closer to a confrontation with forces that seek to shape the destiny of their city. In a tale where knowledge is as dangerous as it is powerful, Amren must confront the cost of uncovering secrets and the price of wielding the truth.

notes: this was written based on one of my dungeons and dragons characters from a campaign I recently finished, so most of the lore, magic, and history is pulled from that universe. I was inspired to write up her backstory, which then snowballed into this wonderful story that became so much more! this is as it stands a first draft as I learn how to be a better writer!
