Of Thieves and Magic

In a world shaped by magic and untouched by humankind, Savina Steppenwolf lives in exile within a secluded city perched beside the ancient Vaelthryss ocean, a sea said to be older than memory and also acts as a divider between two different vast worlds. An elemental mage haunted by her sister's long ago disappearance, Savina has spent years residing all alone, until she stumbles upon information that could potentially lead her to the truth about her sister's fate.

But to find it, she must break the most sacred law in her entire homeland. And that is : NO ONE by any means is permitted to travel beyond the city's borders.

But travel she did.

When Savina does the forbidden and ventures outside, she finds the impossible. She encounters seven human individuals roaming a world that was never meant to accommodate them. Led by the sharp minded Killian and the calculating Alby, they carry a map guiding them towards a so called 'legendary trove of hidden treasures'. And by sheer coincidence, it led to the very same destination Savina seeks. Distrust sparks betrayal, a stolen map and a reluctant truce forged in necessity.

Together they journey through enchanted forests and treacherous wildlands where ancient creatures stir and forgotten forces watch from the shadows.

As mistrust slowly shifts into fragile camaraderie, the group must confront buried truths: Savina's past, the humans' desires, and the real cost of what they're all chasing.
