Runesworn

Three centuries after a world-ending disaster left only five percent alive, survivors began inheriting living runes—red for power, yellow for intellect, blue for magic—while white and black marks shift with the soul. Each gift reshapes reality, and the world always demands a brutal counterbalance. As rival houses circle toward war, five strangers—each hiding a dangerous truth—are pulled into the same widening mystery: who caused the Cataclysm, and why the runes appeared afterward. When controlled beasts strike like weapons and old theories turn into living threats, the five must unite—or pay the price alone.
