The Maid of Aurelia

"Under the endless sky, we made a promise-one I swore to keep, no matter the cost."

Tallia was once a girl of dreams, bright-eyed and unshaken in her belief that a simple childhood vow with her sweetheart, Weston, could withstand the test of time. She was naive and idealistic-convinced that sheer will alone could defy fate.

But the world is cruel. Betrayal, bloodshed, and the weight of survival crushed her innocence. The promise of light is at the verge of being extinguished, and to prevent it, she was forced to fight.

Thrown into the brutal world of gladiators, Tallia must carve her path with rock and spear. Will she rise, or will the world break her before she can fulfill the vow she once made in the sparkling field of lilies?

This is the story of how she began. This is the legend of Tallia-the warrior who dared to defy fate, the world, and the order that bound her, the Maid of Aurelia.
