Jake is a thief. He has survived his whole life by reading people, bending rules, and staying one step ahead. He never believed in magic… until he steals it. A relic from the College of Magic pulls him into a hidden realm of living mist, where emotion shapes reality and control means survival. What begins as curiosity quickly becomes a dangerous path of trial, failure, and hard-earned growth. But Jake is not the only one touched by the mist. Across the world, others are shaped by its power: allies, rivals, hunters, and those who see further than he does. The Name We Carve is an ongoing epic progression fantasy driven by evolving characters, intersecting paths, and consequences that ripple far beyond a single choice.Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge
