The Scarred Vein
In the realm of Seraphia, three nations stand on uneasy ground, bound by an ancient prophecy. Long ago, the goddesses sealed away a woman who dared to steal the Epyrix Stone—a relic fueled by raw ambition. Trapped beneath a magical dome, she did not wither. She built Aeoonia, a city of power within her prison, waiting for the moment when the barrier would fracture. Now, that moment is near, and the balance of the world teeters on the edge of collapse.
Kora Faye has spent her life preparing for a fate she doesn’t fully understand. Marked by glowing scars and moss-green hair, she carries the weight of a prophecy that demands she awaken three slumbering goddesses and claim their power. Only then can she stop the woman imprisoned beneath the dome.
To do this, she enters the Sands of Selection Trials, where warriors are forged and futures are decided. But the trials are more than a test of skill. They are a battleground of shifting alliances, deception, and ruthless ambition. Amidst it all, Kora is drawn to two very different men—Silas, the steadfast companion who has always been by her side, and Adrian, a charming stranger with secrets as deep as his gaze.
As Kora fights for survival, the past begins to surface—whispers of forgotten truths, buried betrayals, and a power inside her that refuses to be chained. With time running out and the world poised on the brink of war, she must make a choice.
Follow the path carved out for her… or defy fate entirely.
