Description: [edit] [history]

In a kingdom choked by fear, King Alaric leeches the life force from his subjects through a forbidden magic - soul bonding. Kira, a spirited bookshop owner's daughter, stumbles upon a hidden truth: the key to toppling the tyrant lies in this very magic.

Thrust into a rebellion unlike any other, Kira finds unlikely allies - a ragtag group who share a thirst for vengeance and a dream of freedom. Leading this rebellion is the enigmatic Caleb, a man shrouded in mystery and whispered rumors. Some hail him as a savior, others fear his connection to the very magic they seek to destroy.

But the path to liberation is paved with danger. The King's madness grows with each stolen soul, and his iron fist crushes dissent without mercy.

Together, they must unlock the secrets of soul bonding, a power as beautiful as it is devastating. But Caleb's motives are shrouded in shadow. Can Kira trust him to wield this forbidden magic for good, or will he succumb to its corrupting influence?

Time is running out. Every day, young men vanish, sacrificed to fuel the king's twisted immortality. Can Kira master this forbidden magic before the next tribute claims her loved ones?

Welcome, adventurer! This marks the beginning of our journey into the kingdom of Cyrennia. Buckle up, because things might get a little weird (and hopefully wonderful) from here on out.

Just a heads up, this story is still under construction. Some chapters might get a bit of a makeover as I get feedback from my trusty beta readers. So, keep an eye on the latest chapter notes for updates!

Now, the fun part: Your participation in this adventure is highly encouraged! Spot a typo lurking in the shadows? A plot hole threatening to swallow the narrative whole? Don't be shy, leave a comment and let me know!

But even if your inner editor takes a nap, any comment is much appreciated! Let me know what you think, what excites you, or if you just want to chat about the characters (because trust me, I have a lot to say).

So, grab your favorite beverage, settle in, and let's crack open this new world together!

If you're itching to get your hands on more chapters, or just want to chat about the story and its fantastical inhabitants, feel free to add me on Discord (smoothiemaus). I'd love to hear your thoughts and maybe even recruit a few more brave souls to join my beta reader squad!
