The Chains of Relics

In the age of kingdoms and forgotten legends, power is not born - it is taken.
Only those who wield a Relic may bend the world to their will.

When the village of Valehollow is burned to ash by one of the Dark Lieutenants, young Saren discovers that the broom his family passed down for generations is no ordinary heirloom. With a single sweep, it can erase anything in its path.

But relics are not blessings.
They are chains.
And each chain carries a cost.

As Saren joins the kingdom of Aesthor, training among knights and outcasts, whispers of war rise. Ten Lieutenants prepare the world for their master, Lord Malachar, a man who can bend matter itself - and who watches Saren from the shadows.

To survive, Saren must turn grief into strength, forge bonds that fate will test, and face relics whose powers defy reason: a mirror that rewrites reality, a scythe that steals years of life, a comb that commands the dead, and more.

But the deeper he treads into this war, the clearer the truth becomes:
Relics do not set men free.
Relics bind them tighter than chains.
