Ashborne: The Nameless Sun

Born a stillborn in the slave pits of Ashraka, Levi Zahir should have never taken a breath. But when an ancient force answers his mother’s desperate cries, Levi is brought back—marked by glowing runes no one in the lower castes understands.



He is Veilborn, touched by a power older than gods, feared by the few nobles who still remember its name. Raised in secrecy on the edge of a dying world, Levi grows up hardened by survival—but the mark on his skin refuses to stay hidden.



When a chance encounter brings him to the gates of a prestigious magic academy, Levi sees a way out: power, knowledge, and coin—all tools to fight the world that branded him lesser. But inside the academy, the stakes are higher than he imagined. He’s met with suspicion, rivalry, and dangerous magic—and the truth about the Veilborn is buried deeper than he ever expected.



As Levi forms unlikely bonds with outcasts and elites alike, he must navigate ancient secrets, political games, and a prophecy tied to demons stirring across the continent. And all the while, something is watching him from beyond the Veil.



Because Levi’s birth was no miracle.



It was a beginning.

It’s a warning.
