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.

After the prayer, the Prophet sat down with the short red faced woman in his temple, holding her trembling hands as she sat across from him.

"It will be okay, Beylee," he whispered, trying to quell her fears.

"Where could she have gone? She's just…disappeared out of thin air. I don't understand how this could've happened."

"Sometimes…the marsh gets greedy. It takes what it wants. It's one of the things we cannot control."

Beylee wiped away tears. "I always told her to stay in the village. Not to go out wandering. But she never listened. She had such an adventurous side, that one."

"Don't give up hope yet, my beautiful disciple. Hope is all we can have in this cruel world." The Prophet tried to add sympathy into his voice.

He'd never met Beylee's daughter in person, and neither did he care much about her. But his people needed to see him as sympathetic.
