Blood Covenant: The Fallen Prince's Awakening

synopsis

In the glittering Empire of Valterra, where magical ability determines one's place in society, Prince Lysander Aurelian awakens with a jolt—his execution at his siblings' hands still fresh in his mind. Somehow, he's been granted a second chance, reborn three years before his death.

Once dismissed as the "failed prince" with seemingly weak magical abilities, Lysander now harbors a secret: his power was deliberately suppressed by magical blocks placed in his childhood. As he navigates the cutthroat Academy of Imperial Arts, Lysander begins systematically removing these blocks, unlocking his extraordinary Anima magic—the rarest and most coveted magical affinity.

But Lysander's transformation threatens the entire imperial power structure. His ambitious older brother Crown Prince Darius sees him as a threat to be eliminated. His calculating sister Princess Seraphina watches from the shadows, waiting to align with whoever proves strongest.

Meanwhile, common citizens throughout the empire are experiencing "Awakenings"—spontaneously developing magical abilities that should be impossible according to imperial doctrine. These incidents are connected to the ancient Covenant that has maintained noble control of magic for a millennium—a Covenant that is now failing.

With his knowledge of the future and his growing magical abilities, Lysander forms a faction called "The Broken Crown" dedicated to transforming the empire's rigid magical hierarchy. But with his siblings plotting against him, time running out, and the Covenant itself deteriorating, Lysander must navigate court politics, survive assassination attempts, and ultimately face the Covenant Trial that will determine Valterra's future.

In this world where bloodline, power, and magical ability reign supreme, the once-failed prince must use his second chance to break the chains of blood and bring magic back to all—before history repeats itself in an empire on the edge of magical revolution.
