<p>War. For twelve years now, there is war in the world of Parvilien. A war ignited by an Empire collapsing, the lands becoming divided between powerful factions. History, culture, technology all tossed aside in favor of the chaotic war, spurred on by the primitive instincts of each individual, fueled by the irrationalities of their leaders. Twelve years now, with no end in sight. Yet in a secluded forest, Avalel, twelve years of age, was completely oblivious to the torment of the war. His backward village was a hidden safe haven, self sufficient on its own limited resources. Although there were occasionally contact from the "Outside", as they call it, the village remained its own world, isolated and in peace. Until he stumbled upon a girl, broken by the war, hardened by its cruelty. He began to wish to see the "Outside", to experience what it was truly like. Four years later, the Outside comes to him. Witnessing the horrors around him, his fantasies shattered by the abhorrent ruthlessness of this orderless world, he only has a single goal: to protect the ones he considers his closest in the war. A mysterious sword accompanies him, a relic of the past strangely interested in his development. A kind friend supports him, looking out for each other. A leader pursues him, obsessed with his identity. A journey of life, of death; of friendship, of enmity; of courage, of cowardice; of loyalty, of betrayal; of power, of corruption in this eternal, unending war.</p> <p>Cover edited at Canva, using a photo taken by myself.</p>
