He was born in silence.
Raised as a prince.
Trained to kneel.
Destined to die.

Sixteen years after the stars vanished from Elwischa's sky, Prince Kael lives locked behind royal smiles and whispered lies. He is an enigma in a palace of masks, a boy cursed with a name carved into prophecy-and a kingdom desperate to erase him.

But when Kael discovers a hidden grimoire pulsing with forgotten magic, visions flood his mind: burning towers, a woman of feathers, and a name the kingdom buried in ash-"Heartborn."

Betrayed by his own blood and hunted by royal assassins, Kael escapes the kingdom with the grimoire whispering secrets in his hand and a question burning in his veins:

Who was I before they wrote me into chains?

Across marshlands haunted by memory, villages where no one remembers the same history, and forests warped by the echoes of dying gods, Kael's journey pulls him toward the Tower of Club, the first of four ancient monuments sealed since the Collapse. Each Tower holds a Trial. Each Trial holds a Truth.

And at the end of the path?

A war not of armies-but of memory.

Of who wrote it.
Who owns it.
And who bleeds for the right to be real.

The grimoire doesn't lie. But Kael's past might.
