The Sin Eater Chronicles
In the matriarchal kingdom of Masan, Princess Aiyara anticipates a bright future—she will inherit the throne once her mother, Queen Meilara, and father, King-Consort Masaru, depart on a bold mission to colonize an uncharted continent. Yet an unexpected eruption of raw power during the solstice festival shatters those plans. Weary of political intrigue and the condescension of foreign suitors, Aiyara unleashes a destructive force that injures guests and wrecks the palace, inadvertently revealing her capacity as a Sin Eater.
Revered yet feared for consuming the sins of mortals without granting absolution, Sin Eaters endure a prolonged life but forfeit the familiar comforts of home and hearth. When Aiyara recovers from her ordeal, she learns she has lost her rightful claim to the throne: her nature as a Sin Eater makes her duty to Masan incompatible with traditional rule. Now exiled from the future she once took for granted, she must master the burdens of sin-consumption and confront the moral gray areas that surface in the shadows of every heart.
