The Nameless Tide

Not just moments, but entire lives—erasing histories, identities, and souls with ruthless precision. Those who lose their memories become shadows, wandering the city of Vaelith like ghosts without names or pasts. Cael Ardent is one such ghost. Stripped of everything, haunted by the fractured memory of a sister who disappeared into the heart of the city’s darkest secret—the Vault of Echoes. A place where the Order imprisons stolen souls and buries the past beneath layers of stone and silence. Armed only with an ancient blade humming with forgotten power, Cael walks the razor’s edge between hope and despair. When whispers of a rebellion ripple through the city’s underbelly, promising truth and vengeance, Cael is drawn deeper into a world where memories bleed like wounds—and the price of reclaiming the past may be more than he can bear. In a city where forgetting is survival, Cael must decide: is it better to live as a shadow with no past, or to face the darkness lurking within his own fractured memories? Because some secrets refuse to stay buried, and some debts demand a sacrifice beyond remembering.
