Blade and Faith

The Sevira Academy does not train heroes. It selects those who will survive. The trials they call “training” are actually a filter — one forged in pain, fear, and the Flow, which breaks far faster than it heals. Low-Rank Erkers must know their place. Or disappear. Dan Edanar knew the rules. Take nothing extra. Ask no questions. Never look up. But the Flow answers her differently. The trials do not unfold as they should. A High-Rank who was never supposed to intervene saves her twice — and then disappears without a trace. The Academy pretends nothing ever happened. Now Dan stands before a choice that was never written in the regulations: accept the role forced upon her, or become an error in a system that forgives no mistakes. Blade and Faith is a dark fantasy about distorted choices, control disguised as protection, and what happens when the Flow begins to remember your name. Sometimes survival isn’t victory. Sometimes it is the beginning of a war.
