Abhokai was supposed to be untouchable — a kingdom of mana and marvel, ruled by the Valtaris bloodline, protectors of the realm. But when the Rift fractures above its skies, unleashing horrors that should not exist, even kings fall.
Ethan Valtaris was never meant to be a hero. Born frail, overlooked, a prince with no weapon but strange golden-blue stripes crawling beneath his skin… he was just trying to survive.
Until the monsters came.
Until the creature with wings and a greatsword whispered his name like prophecy.
Until his father died screaming it.
Now, hunted by the unknown and haunted by power he doesn’t understand, Ethan is forced into a collapsing world where gods lie, bloodline secrets rot in shadows, and the only path forward may be through fire and death.
The Bleeding Season has begun.
