In the ancient and divided land of Taeloria, the seven kingdoms are on the brink of chaos, their rulers' uneasy truce threatened by the pursuit of an enigmatic relic—the Blood of Artemis. This mystical artifact holds the key to unimaginable power, and each kingdom vies for its control, hoping to fulfill a cryptic prophecy known as the Red Rising. Amidst this tension, Nathen Albrich, an orphaned thief with an obscure past, unwittingly becomes entangled in this prophecy. Guided by the whispers of forgotten legends and the wisdom of the Grey Owl, Nathen's journey is fraught with danger, betrayal, and revelations that shake the very foundations of his identity. Parallel to Nathen's quest is the creation of Irmin, a being designed by the rulers to manipulate the prophecy for their own ends. As Irmin grapples with his constructed purpose, he finds himself drawn to an uncertain path of self-discovery. Alliances are tested, secrets are unearthed, and the ancient forces of the realm begin to stir. With the fate of Taeloria hanging in the balance, Nathen and Irmin must navigate a world where nothing is as it seems and every step they take pulls them deeper into a web of destiny, power, and sacrifice. In the shadows, a dark presence watches, waiting for the moment to unleash a long-buried wrath upon the world. As the prophecy unfolds, the true nature of the Red Rising will be revealed, and the choices made will echo through the annals of history.
