Aurelia is a realm where power flows through "Veins of Origin"—mystical energies inherited through the soul, often tied to elemental or metaphysical forces that define one's destiny. Noble families, blessed with these ancient bloodlines, serve as guardians of regions, sacred relics, and mysterious gates to the unknown. Follow our protagonist as he navigates this magical world, where lineage determines strength and ancient powers awaken within those worthy of their inheritance. In a kingdom where bloodlines shape destiny and noble houses guard secrets that could shake the very foundations of reality, one young boy must discover his own path to power. *Author's Note: This is my first book, born from ideas that sparked in my imagination. I can't guarantee anything except that this story was crafted with passion and dedication. Like my other ongoing work, this tale comes from the heart.*
