Kael: Birth of a Knight
Kael never dreamed of glory.
Born in the slums and fighting to survive each day, his only goal was to make it to tomorrow.

Thrown into a world of knights, magic, and ancient legends, Kael must face his past, forge bonds with allies and rivals, and uncover the strange power that runs through his veins.
This is the story of a boy standing at the crossroads of fate - of the friends he will meet, the enemies he must face, and the knight he is destined to become.
