Now you see me now you don't
In the vast and enchanted realm of Virelia, where arcane empires rise and fall beneath drifting skylands and beastkin walk alongside men, Zayne Caldris was a boy who had everything—wit sharper than steel, beauty that drew eyes in every town, and a terrifyingly adaptive mind that made him a natural in any discipline he pursued. But above all, he had peace.
He lived a quiet, happy life with his mother and younger sister in the tranquil edge-town of Bellshade, far from the chaos of the royal capitals and mage wars. Though the world offered endless thrills, Zayne found most things boring—except the laughter of his sister and the warm meals shared under their lantern-lit roof.
Until it all burned.
One night, his home was turned to ash, his family butchered by unknown hands. No witnesses. No known enemies. No clear motive. All that remained was a single white feather, scorched at its edge, left deliberately on the bloodied windowsill.
With nothing left to lose, Zayne vanishes into the underworld of Virelia—where killers wear crowns, mages deal in secrets, and truths are traded like currency. On a relentless path of vengeance, Zayne’s true potential awakens. He becomes a master of stealth, deception, and manipulation. A ghost who leaves no prints, a face that never stays the same.
As he journeys through the fractured layers of Virelia’s politics, sorcery, and ancient blood feuds, Zayne will rise—shaped by loss, driven by justice, and haunted by a question that only he can answer:
Who left the feather?
