DaJoMa
One prophecy. Two survivors. A realm broken by a savior's delusion.
The Realm of Ahruen was once a masterpiece of peace-until the light began to fracture.
For centuries, the ancient prophecies were little more than ceremonial whispers. Then Princess Auryl Sharyn Aureryn is born during the sacred Festival of Lights, and the whispers ignite. As Elyryn celebrates, a shadow sharpens inside the palace.
Auren, an adopted prince shaped by loss and driven by a warped hunger for destiny, becomes convinced that suffering is the only path to divine purpose. To him, the prophecy is not a promise of hope-it is a claim to power. In a single night of fire and betrayal, his devotion mutates into fanaticism, and the rebellion he sparks leaves kingdoms in ruin and the royal bloodline nearly erased.
Hidden, hunted, and believed dead, Auryl grows up in a world that no longer remembers the legacy she carries. Across the storm-forged north, Zehrren Thalruun-heir of Zahruun-has survived trials that would have broken lesser souls. Strengthened by the Tempest, tempered by loss, he rises as the second survivor the prophecy foretold.
Bound by an ancient fate they barely understand, Auryl and Zehrren are the Light and the Depth-two forces never meant to stand alone. As Auren's false crown tightens its grip on Ahruen, they must reclaim a legacy twisted into a weapon and decide what kind of rulers they will become.
In a realm fractured by fear, can love restore what power destroyed? Or will Ahruen's final chapter be written in ash?
What to expect:
* Vast, immersive world-building: crystal spires, sea-bound kingdoms, and ancient citadels carved from living marble.
* A subversion of the "Chosen One": a villain who believes he is the savior.
* Dual POV with a slow-burn bond: two fated souls fighting their way back to each other.
* High stakes and deeper scars: rebellion, prophecy, political fracture, and the emotional cost of surviving destiny.
