Synopsis
Raien was born under a blood moon—the day the gods died and magic vanished. Branded by a forbidden bloodline, hunted by kings and priests alike, he has only ever known shadows and survival. But fate has other plans. As the ancient throne stirs once more, secrets unravel: a lost empire buried beneath oceans, blades forged by dying gods, and a prophecy that names Raien the Ash King—a savior, or the world’s final curse. War brews. Dragons awaken. Betrayal cuts deeper than any sword. To claim his destiny, Raien must rise—not as a hero, but as a storm.
