Pilgrims of Solumnia

A young prodigy. A chaotic companion. A genius mentor with a hidden past. Their pilgrimage to unlock the universe's greatest secrets begins now.

Fifteen-year-old Ludwig Ouróskope arrives in the strange town of Stravódomir, trailing behind his fellow apprentices after a mishap with his bull. He's a logical mind from a prestigious academy, destined for greatness but longing for a simpler path. His companions are anything but simple: Lyra, a sharp-tongued noble with a talent for transmutation and trouble; and Nikkolo, a muscle-bound rival from a humble academy, dreaming of glory.

Guiding them is Orion, Ludwig's older brother and a legendary figure in his own right. As a Void Orator, Orion wields immense political and mystical authority-a title he gained by solving the enigmatic trials of the Temple years ago, a responsibility that weighs on him like a chain.

Their simple stop for supplies erupts into chaos when Lyra's defiance against a local gang pulls them into a dangerous web of corruption. They soon discover the town is under the thumb of "The Broken Mirrors," and its rightful governor is mysteriously absent, lost in the very Temple they seek to enter.

To continue their journey, they must board a telergic airship and brave the lethal currents of the broken sky. But first, they must navigate a town rotting from the inside. Their pilgrimage is no longer just about solving cosmic puzzles and earning their ranks; it's a test of loyalty and a fight for justice in a place where the laws of man have failed.

First Movement is the thrilling first part of a new fantasy series, perfect for fans of magical academies, intricate worlds, and characters who are as clever as they are flawed. Follow Ludwig and his friends as they begin an adventure where every enigma solved unlocks greater power-and greater peril.
