AKSESA AND THE DARK RECKONING

That stormy night was supposed to be just an ordinary night for two young men - Noel Sanjaya and Arka.

But in the ancient mansion of the noble Sanjaya family, Noel has just completed an ancient ritual-one performed only once every five centuries. The kingdom's ministers gather in silence, witnessing the birth of a new 'Aksesa,' a mysterious title that has served as the hidden pillar of the Carta Kingdom for millennia.

On the other side of the city, in a small cafe about to close, Arka is fighting to finish a college assignment, battling sleep and dreaming of his grandfather's steamed chicken. He has no idea the storm is no ordinary weather... or that his life is being irrevocably changed.

Two nineteen-year-old men. Two worlds that have never collided. One ancient cycle awakening: The Dark Period.

As the kingdom braces for a cataclysm that strikes only once every five hundred years, a buried secret begins to crawl from the shadows.

And when destiny finally brings Noel and Arka face to face, one of them will discover he is not who he thinks he is.

Because sometimes, a kingdom's greatest hero... is born in the most unexpected of places.
