Lunatharic: Shattered Bloodlines

"From every tragedy, something remains." For Veluthen Vexarythen, the remnants of the past are a heavy burden: a shattered shield, a fragmented sword, and a father who sacrificed his own health just to save him. In the Kingdom of Lunatharic, Theus is the ultimate currency—an energy that bends reality to the will of those who wield it. Within the high-stakes metropolis of Valthoryn, the Vexarythen clan stands as one of the Three Pillars, yet they are constantly underestimated. However, Veluthen hides a secret that could dismantle the kingdom’s entire hierarchy: a forbidden legacy left by his late father, Caedrin. While digging through the ruins of his history, Veluthen uncovers weapons of impossible engineering and a farewell letter written in a silent code. The trail leads to the Blazecrest—a clan from the state of Elyndora, a name that should have remained distant, with no supposed connection to his family. Determined to uncover the truth, Veluthen enters the Etherion Trials, the brutal gateway to the Central Council’s elite forces. Alongside his bold friend Serath, an inventor from the outskirts, he must navigate the enigmatic surveillance of the clan leaders and confront shadows that refuse to stay buried.
