In a world ravaged by the rise of Malignants—twisted beings born from a corruption that infects the very essence of life—humanity’s survival hinges on the strength of a fading order: the Luminaries. These warriors, blessed with Luminescence, once stood as the last line of defense, but now, their power is fractured, their influence waning. Fifteen-year-old Abell Vespera, raised in the quiet town of Iridius under the watchful eye of his mother, Keeko, a former Luminary, refuses to be another forgotten name. With his blade forged from light itself, he dreams of rising beyond his small-town existence, proving his worth, and escaping the shadow of a past that haunts him.
