In a distant future, Earth is long gone, and humanity’s last survivors have found refuge on the desolate planet of Selora. Genetically engineered and raised to serve, Kael Duskborne arrives in a world where memories are erased, free will is a distant memory, and every movement is dictated by an unyielding, unknown force. His mission: to harvest obsidian from the planet's cursed mines.
But Selora is no ordinary world. The land itself seems to pulse with a strange, sinister energy, and its creatures—ancient, primal, and deadly—lurk in the shadows. As he journeys through this harsh world, Kael begins to question everything he’s been told. Why is he here? What is the truth behind the planet’s dark past?
Silent whispers haunt the air, and warnings of an ancient, omnipotent force—the Silence—demand his attention. With his very life at stake, Kael must choose whether to accept the unspoken order of his existence or fight against the oppressive force that seeks to control him—and the planet itself.
In a world where nothing is as it seems, survival means navigating a web of lies, dark powers, and dangerous allies.

Fragments of a Fallen Star

Kreel burst forward, shoving two officials out of the way as he neared the miners.

Kael stepped in front of his friends, preparing for the attack.

A branch fell from the canopy, striking Kreel in the head.

Roots exploded from the dirt, wrapping around the dead official's legs.

Two vines swung down, tying around Kreel's arms.

The forest was still fighting back, even with the loss of its god.

Kreel roared in frustration, his monstrous limbs thrashing against the restraints. His mouth snapped open, gnashing at the vines that held him in place.

Kael didn't waste time. "Go! Take out the others while we can!"

The other 80 officials charged forward, and Kael and the others broke off into groups. They would use the forest to their advantage.

Ryker, Lucian, and one of the Soulless each grabbed a vine, which pulled them upward toward the higher branches, away from the officials.
