DRAVAKUL

DRAVAKUL: Volume One — The Arc Under three suns that never set together, sealed inside a barrier no army has ever scratched, five great powers have carved up a flat, endless world — and none of them know what they're sharing it with. Edward looks sixteen. He eats bad soup, argues with his little sister Camellia about chores, and lets his sister Diana boss him around the kitchen. He has also been alive for longer than every civilization in this world, sealed his true power,  He chose the soup. He chose the small life. it was enough. Then the Blood takes it from him— and Edward stops pretending. What follows is not a slow burn. It's the machinery of an ancient being finally deciding to stop hiding — rebuilding a court from nothing, binding rulers who have feared his name for a hundred thousand years, and dragging two rings of unwilling politics and war into alignment behind him. Elves who fight through the bound souls of monsters. Orcs who isolate themselves by choice and break that isolation in blood. Humans and vampire bond, A girl who can hear the difference between a spirit and the soul trapped inside it. A black hole beyond the Arc's edge that answers to something — someone — with a name. By the end, an entire hall of warlords, generals, and rulers who have followed Edward for two years without asking who he is finally get an answer. It begins with me.
