Publisher's Synopsis
In the ancient kingdom of Thaloria, where the clash of steel and the roar of magic shape the course of history, a young blacksmith named Riven discovers a mysterious sword buried beneath the ruins of a long-forgotten castle. Forged from a celestial metal that glimmers with an otherworldly light, the sword is not just a weapon but a key to a legacy long lost to time. Legends speak of its power, capable of sealing dark forces and awakening ancient guardians, but it is also said to bear the curse of its last wielder, a fabled hero who vanished after a fateful battle.
As word of the sword spreads, Riven finds himself entangled in a deadly game of politics and ambition. Noble houses and malevolent sorcerers vie for control, each seeking to harness the sword's power for their own ends. With the fate of Thaloria hanging in the balance, Riven is thrust into a world of intrigue and danger, far removed from his simple life as a blacksmith.
To navigate this perilous new path, Riven must ally with a diverse group of companions: a skilled rogue with a knack for deception, a powerful sorceress haunted by her past, and a stoic knight sworn to protect the realm. Together, they embark on a quest to uncover the truth behind the sword's history, facing treacherous foes, enchanted beasts, and the shadows of Riven's own past.
As Riven learns to wield the sword, he must grapple with the legacy it carries and the responsibility it demands. Will he become the hero the kingdom needs, or will the sword's curse consume him? In a tale of bravery, betrayal, and destiny, Riven must decide what it truly means to be worthy of the power within his grasp.
