Description: [edit] [history]

There was a name behind Renier's tragedy, and what he planned for him was much worse than death, but cockroaches are resilient things…

In the heart of the Ottoman Empire, a tale of intrigue, revenge, and mystical prowess unfolds. Penumbra is a riveting journey through a world where ancient sects wield arcane powers, and shadowy organizations vie for control behind the scenes of a seemingly normal world.

The story follows Renier Menart, a young man whose life is irrevocably changed when all he's known is rent for him. A fortuitous find will prove to be his opportunity for vengeance. Follow as Renier embarks on a journey that plunges him into the depths of ancient sects and the mysterious practice of Vishwa Sangamana – a path to become one with the universe through the mastery of Mu.

His path is fraught with peril. A shadowy cadre of assassins is determined to stop the resurgence of his legacy. Simultaneously, a group of secretive mystics seek to take his knowledge at all costs. All while he's hunting the people that ruined his life. The lucky ones, he'll kill.

Penumbra weaves a tapestry of magic, betrayal, and determination over a nine-hundred-year period that starts in the Middle Ages and ends in the Far Future. As Renier navigates a labyrinth of alliances and enmities, he must master his newfound powers, outwit cunning adversaries, and, most importantly, crush his enemies. His journey is not just one of vengeance and power but also a quest for identity and purpose in a world where the lines between right and wrong blur.

Will Renier overcome the shadows of his past and the looming threats of the present to fulfill his destiny? Or will the tangled web of magic and intrigue ensnare him, crushing his dreams and the hope of the Sangami's resurgence?

With its richly detailed world, complex characters, and a plot that seamlessly blends historical intrigue with fantastical elements, this story promises to be an enthralling read for fans of historical fantasy and epic adventures.
