The Accursed

Duty. Desire. Loss. Survival. In the Chasmere Empire, these are the forces that shape lives far more sharply than magic ever could.

A noblewoman wrestles with the suffocating expectations of her lineage, torn between loyalty and the quiet ache of a life unlived. A young woman branded Accursed faces the brutal reality of a system designed to discard her... until a dying dragon chooses her in a bond that defies every law, every tradition, and every belief. And a father, haunted by grief and loss, navigates raising a child alone in a world that has taken everything from him and only plans to take more as Wars loom on the horizon.

Their stories twist through a kingdom where privilege is inherited, power is only for those blessed with it, and the gods are weaponised more often than they are believed in. As tensions rise within the Academy and shadows gather beneath the dome, each of them must confront the truths they've avoided about themselves, about the people they love, and about the world that has shaped them. Unbeknownst to them all, the past refuses to stay buried.

Some bonds are chosen. Some are forced. And some are forged in the spaces where duty and desire collide. And in the Chasmere Empire none of this can be hidden as the dome that was meant to protect them all, has quickly become their cage.
