The Oracle's Gambit

When the ancient city of Aedrion fell, Alexa Thorne became one of the hunted. Chased by the ruthless enforcers of the Dominion, she clings to a mysterious pendant—a relic her late mother entrusted to her with only one cryptic warning: “This is your light in the darkness.”

But the pendant is more than a family heirloom. It hums with ancient power, pulls her toward forgotten places, and unlocks secrets long buried beneath the ruins of a broken world. When Alexa discovers the shattered remains of an oracle, she learns of a fate darker than she imagined—a looming threat known only as The Unmaker, a force that could unravel the fabric of reality itself.

Bound by prophecy and pursued by enemies on all sides, Alexa is thrust into a deadly gambit of ancient powers, forbidden magic, and warring factions. Along the way, she must form uneasy alliances, including with a rogue guide who has his own hidden motives, and navigate a treacherous world of shadowy beasts, crumbling empires, and cryptic prophecies.

The fate of countless lives depends on Alexa’s ability to uncover the truth behind the Weaver’s Blade, a legendary artifact said to control the threads of destiny. But every decision comes with a price, and the line between savior and destroyer grows ever thinner.

In a world where trust is a gamble and failure means annihilation, Alexa must rise from hunted prey to a force capable of confronting destiny itself.
