Stormbound: The Stalled World

In a world shaped by Mystics, power defines everything, from kingdoms to survival. Arlen was never meant to be part of it. But after an encounter he doesn’t understand, his body begins to change in ways no healer can fix. Forced to leave home, he sets his sights on the heart of power itself, the Central Academy of Aethrien, where nobles, prodigies, and future rulers clash. Caught between political struggles, rising power, and forces far beyond him, Arlen searches for a way to survive what’s happening to him. But the deeper he goes, the more he begins to realize the world isn’t moving the way it should. And whatever he awakened might be the reason why.
