Six centuries after the onset of the Second Cataclysm, humanity has finally reclaimed a fragile semblance of peace. The Kingdom of Narsia stands resolute, each Dominion of its land governed by a powerful Lord with an unyielding grip. Unwavering like forged iron, they wield potent magic at their fingertips, commanding through cruel suppression. In this world of merciless power and spirituality, a solitary boy grapples with it all, wrestling with the hopelessness of his existence and status. Embarking on a journey to fulfill his ambitions and dreams, he delves ever deeper into the shadowy underworld of his District, carefully balancing his morals and aspirations. Just as he glimpses a glimmer of hope, a radiant beacon of light, circumstances far beyond his mortal grasp ensnare him like a voracious black hole. The spiritual realm claims him, irrevocably altering his life as he plummets to the ground like a fallen star. Embracing the blessing of the Beyond, he harnesses his newfound gifts, becoming a Conduit of magical forces himself. Yet, swiftly the boy begins to wonder, if they might be a curse in disguise instead, as death and blood litter his path. Will Anthemion rise, or will he shatter beneath the weight of his transgressions? Hello, everyone. I have to say that this is the first novel I've ever published, and I am freeballing it, meaning I have a rough plan for the plot and some twists, but I will develop most of it along the way. I'm a complete amateur as an author, but I find great joy in writing and world-building. So, if you have suggestions for the story or if I missed a comma somewhere, please feel free to tell me. I will correct the mistakes and ponder on your ideas.  I've planned this series for more than one book, and I really like the idea that some people out there might enjoy what I publish.  I hope I can alleviate some of your boredom, enthrall you with my world and story, and offer you the experience I've always yearned for when reading a book myself. Thank you very much for giving me your time! Updates: Monday, Wednesday, Friday 5pm European time
