Tales of Starlight follows Asterion, a teenage orphan who has spent his life in The Citadel of Hope—a bastion created from the remnants of humanity nearly three centuries after Earth’s fall. When billions perished in a catastrophic genocide and the planet was rendered uninhabitable, the fortunate few escaped through a portal to this uncharted and mysterious realm. In the chaos of Earth’s collapse, heroes known as the Starlit emerged, wielding mystical, inhuman abilities. Their powers led a fractured humanity to the Citadel, where they have lived ever since, fearful of the world beyond its walls. Stories of Earth’s destruction are whispered reminders of why no one dares to leave. For Asterion, the Citadel is no haven. As an orphan with no family, no future, and no prospects, he’s spent his most recent years being kicked down by the very society that protects him. But when he is kidnapped by an organization and exiled beyond the Citadel’s walls, Asterion finds himself in an unforgiving world teeming with dangers he’s only ever heard of in stories. Forced to adapt or perish, Asterion begins to grow stronger, learning to survive in the hostile unknown. Yet, the deeper he ventures into this mysterious realm, the more he uncovers secrets about its origins and the true nature of the world humanity now calls home. For the first time, Asterion begins to question everything he thought he knew—and whether his survival might be tied to a purpose greater than he ever imagined.
