In the quiet coastal town of Milltown, an orphanage stands as a beacon of hope for abandoned children, offering them food, shelter, and endless parental love. But beneath its warm facade lies a chilling mystery. Every three years, children vanish without writing to the siblings they left behind- adopted, the caretakers say. Yet whispers of unnatural storms, dying crops, and misplaced creatures hint at something far more sinister.
As the land withers and the orphanage's secrets unravel, three kids- Sparrow, Trevor, and Rose- begins to question the world around them. Why do the disappearances align with the strange disturbances?
As time runs out, they must uncover the truth, escape the clutches of a fate centuries in the making, and find a way to break the cycle before Varnost is drained of life forever.

Or will their divided visions lead them to destruction, consumed by their own desires and rivalries? The stars whisper of a prophecy. The winds carry the echoes of an approaching storm. Six legends. One destiny. The tale begins.
