Koba Locks

Kian has spent his life in the shadows of Eldrinth, a city of gold and filth where the rich feast in gilded halls while the poor starve in the gutters. An orphan with no name worth remembering, he has survived by being quick, clever, and invisible. But Kian is not like other beggars. He has always sensed things others could not—the way the wind whispers secrets, the way shadows stretch toward him, the way locks open at his touch without a key. He dismissed it as luck. Until the night he was cornered by the city guards, and power erupted from within him—hurling men aside with a force that should not exist. Magic is forbidden in Eldrinth. The Godmarked, those born with unnatural gifts, are hunted and erased from history. Now, the King’s Magi have heard the whispers of a boy who should not exist, and they will not rest until he is found.

Because deep in the heart of Eldrinth, beyond the reach of kings and priests, an ancient power stirs. And it is waiting for him.

His eyes gold eyes locked onto mine, his canines elongated and I felt the world around me melt away as I locked eyes with him . I was supposed to be scared but I wasn't.

In the fractured kingdoms of Eldyra, where deserts bleed molten ore and fungal forests whisper forgotten names, three outcasts are bound by a lie older than the stars. Kael, a guilt-ridden blacksmith, wields a hammer that burns with the soul of a traitorous knight. Lira, an outcast herbalist, dreams of a goddess’s death—and wakes with bloody hands. Tyrus, a thief with no past, carries daggers that devour his memories to feed a love he can’t recall. When Voidspawn—shapeshifting demons born from a murdered goddess’s rage—swarm their homes, the trio is branded as heretics and forced to flee. Their only hope lies in the Celestial Anchors, ancient relics said to halt the apocalyptic Dusk Eclipse. But as they uncover the truth, they realize the anchors are not tools of salvation… but locks. A thousand years ago, the goddess Nyrisia sacrificed herself to trap a cosmic parasite that feeds on mortal suffering. The “curse” she left behind was a shield, not a punishment. Now, her reincarnation (Lira) is unraveling, Tyrus’s lost love is the parasite’s avatar, and Kael’s hammer demands he kill the only friend he’s ever had. As kingdoms burn and allies betray them, the three must choose: reignite Nyrisia’s war and doom the world to eternal hunger, or shatter the anchors and unleash the parasite’s full wrath. But the greatest threat lies within—Lira’s goddess is waking, Tyrus’s dagger is a key, and Kael’s hammer remembers how to kill a god.
