On the mystical surfaces of Terraverde, a planet teeming with life and wonder, the fabric of nature is woven with magic. Towering "islands" of lush greenery float above the surface, connected by vines and roots that nourish these aerial havens. Rivers flow through the islands, defying gravity as they cascade upward from the planet's surface, only to tumble back down in breathtaking waterfalls.
Amidst these enchanting landscapes, Paolo Dante Valekor, the 22-year-old Draknor of the Valekor Scaleborn, resides on a remarkable landmass that has evolved from an island into a sprawling, elevated continent. The upper realm boasts a village surrounded by farms, shops, and bustling markets, while the underside of this marvel conceals an enchanted castle, home to the Scaleborn community.
As Paolo navigates the complexities of his role and the weight of his family's legacy, he harbors a secret sorrow - the belief that he will forever remain mateless. Unbeknownst to him, his destined partner, Marcus Kayo Cooper, a reclusive 25-year-old farmer from a Fae island, has also resigned himself to a life of solitude.
As the threads of fate begin to weave their lives together, Paolo and Marcus will embark on a journey that will take them to the very heart of Terraverde, where ancient secrets, mystical creatures, and the whispers of the planet itself await.
