In a world where strength is measured by the Seals that glow on one’s skin, Glida Ufitry has nothing. No Seal, no destiny, just a quiet life in a hidden forest village that prefers questions left unanswered. Yet Glida can’t help but wonder about the world outside the trees—about the kingdoms where warriors carry Seals like badges of honor, about the enormous Stone Tree said to hold forbidden knowledge, and about all the myths and monsters that people whisper of when they think he isn’t listening. Armed with nothing but curiosity and a few riddles passed down by a wandering stranger, Glida sets out to find his own truth. On his journey, he will face cunning rivals and strange friends, stumble into old secrets that refuse to stay buried, and see wonders and terrors that make him question everything he thought he knew. With each step forward, he moves closer to the hidden heart of this world and the mystery of why he alone remains unmarked. What does it mean to stand apart in a place where your worth is burned into your skin? Why does his forest home seem to resist his every attempt to leave? And how will Glida’s choices, made in moments both grand and quiet, shape the future of kingdoms and legends he never dared to dream of? "The Seal" invites readers into a world where curiosity can spark adventure and a single unmarked traveler can change the fate of empires.
