The Chronicles of Silas Halbrecht

At the Imperial Royal Academy, students are taught how to rule kingdoms, command armies, and reshape reality through resonance itself.

Silas Halbrecht was supposed to become one of them.

Instead, after another violent episode nearly destroyed his future, he was expelled for a year and eventually sent into the northern mountains by his father, a place nobles whisper about like a curse. A place where people disappear, where reality fractures, and where something ancient beats beneath the earth like a second heart.

He returned different.

Calmer.
More coherent.
And carrying memories that should not exist.

Now, as royal heirs, noble houses, and terrifying supernatural forces begin noticing this, Silas finds himself pulled toward a truth the Empire has buried for centuries:

the mountains are not hiding something.

They are containing it.
